A recent survey, commissioned by AXA, of 2,000 UK adults found that over 50% of them had a desire to start their own business. It reported that one-third of these individuals want to pursue their plans within the next two years. The main reasons for wanting to become their own boss included having freedom to make their own decisions and the possibility of improving their work-life balance. Undoubtedly this is, in part, related to the after-effects of the lockdown and the emphasis that had on the concept of working from home! Interestingly, according to the survey, 16% of respondents already manage side businesses, while 13% are actively saving funds to achieve their future business objectives.
