About British SME

Independent UK small-business publishing

British SME helps owners and managers understand the news, rules and market developments that can affect a smaller business.

Our purpose

Small and medium-sized businesses rarely need another long policy summary. They need to know what changed, who is affected, when it matters and what is worth checking next. British SME turns current UK developments into clear, practical briefings built around those questions.

Our coverage includes finance and cash flow, tax and compliance, employment, technology, operations, regulation, retail and hospitality, regional business and the decisions involved in starting or growing a company.

What readers can expect

  • Plain-English reporting with the practical implication near the top.
  • Links to official or otherwise material sources wherever practical.
  • Clear separation between confirmed facts, analysis and sensible next steps.
  • Dates, thresholds and eligibility details stated carefully and with context.
  • Corrections when the evidence changes or we get something wrong.

Who publishes British SME

BritishSME.co.uk is a trading style of Latitude60 Ltd, company number 14841042. The publication is run by a small UK team and articles are published under the British SME editorial account overseen by Alistair Cowen-Page.

Our business directory is a distinct part of the site. A listing does not influence editorial coverage, and directory inclusion should not be read as an endorsement or guarantee.

Automation and editorial responsibility

We use automated and AI-assisted tools in parts of research, drafting, illustration and publishing. That assistance does not remove our responsibility for what appears on the site. Our publishing rules require traceable source material, prohibit invented evidence or quotations, and provide a route to correct errors.
