SME 4 LABOUR

WHY SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (SMES) FOR LABOUR?
The Labour Party believes that small and medium enterprises businesses are the backbone of the United Kingdom. As of 2016, SMEs make up 99.3% of all private sector businesses in the United Kingdom, employing over 15.7 million people with an estimated combined annual turnover of £1.8 trillion accounted for 47% of private sector turnover.
