Seven out of 10 respondents to the survey agreed that the cost-of-living crisis spurred them to start a business to supplement their salary.Cameron Shearer, chief executive of Superscript, said: “It’s encouraging to see so many new entrepreneurial towns and cities make this year’s top 10. These places have bucked the national trend, with the macroeconomic challenges causing a drop of 83,000 small businesses nationwide.
“However, history teaches us that great ideas and innovations are born out of challenging times, with businesses evolving quickly. That is why flexibility and customisation have become the most important insurance requirements of small businesses coming to us for cover.”
