A poll of 2,000 adults found that 53 per cent want to go it alone, while 29 per cent would like to team up with others

Research reveals that one in five Brits are keen to start their own business or side hustle. A third of these individuals aim to make this transition within the next two years. The main motivations for leaving the traditional 9 to 5 job include becoming your own boss and having more flexibility, both reasons cited by 40 per cent of respondents.

Deepak Soni, of AXA UK, commented: "Whether it's turning a side hustle into a business or launching a startup from scratch, it's clear that being your own boss is on the agenda for many people across the UK." The 22 year old entrepreneur from Neston was inspired to start her company, Intotum, after witnessing her grandfather's struggle to find comfortable and stylish clothing suitable for his stoma and urostomy bag following his third cancer battle.

Her focus began with wheelchair users: "I chose to start working with wheelchair users, creating my own custom patterns and styles to cater for someone seated, including ambulatory wheelchair users."
