Higgs LLP is very clear on its mission – as a full service law firm, it is driving towards becoming the UK’s go to legal partner for owner-managed businesses and the people and families that build and run them. Small Business Week is a nationwide celebration of the vital role small businesses play in communities and economies across the UK.
Higgs knows that small and owner-managed businesses are the engine of the UK economy – they employ more than 16 million people across the UK which accounts for 99% of all businesses and which generates over half of private sector turnover.
Higgs sees first-hand the vital role small businesses play in local communities. With offices across the West Midlands, Shropshire and Edinburgh, the firm works closely with businesses that create jobs, drive innovation, support local high streets and make a significant contribution to regional economies.
Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy and of the communities we serve. They are the businesses that create opportunities, invest locally, support employment and help our towns and cities thrive. We are proud to work alongside ambitious owner-managed businesses at every stage of their journey.
UK Small Business Week provides an important opportunity to recognise the enormous contribution they make, celebrate their success and encourage everyone to support the businesses that form the foundation of our local economies. As we continue to grow our presence across the West Midlands, Edinburgh and now Shrewsbury, we remain committed to helping business owners navigate challenges, seize opportunities and build lasting legacies for future generations
