Shropshire firms in 'survival mode' as employers warn of job losses following ‘business bashing’ Budget

In the survey, those asked about the autumn Budget’s impact on the local business community, 72 per cent described it as negative, and not a single employer felt it was positive. The survey, carried out in the weeks after the Budget and covering the final three months of 2024, found that more than a quarter of firms were seeing credit terms getting worse, while around a third said bad debts were on the rise.
