Fortitude Plethora: Has There Ever Been a Better Time to Be an Entrepreneur?

    MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, January 28, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a recent article published by BBC news (A golden age for British entrepreneurship? Published on January 1st 2016) it was claimed that entrepreneurship is currently thriving in the UK. In the article Lord Young, a serial entrepreneur and lobbyist for entrepreneurial rights in the 1980's shared how in the last 30 years the state of entrepreneurship has changed dramatically. Lord Young outlined how back in the 80s an individual launching their own business venture was considered a rarity and the risk associated with the process often outweighed any potential benefit. As it stands today there are over 5.2 million small businesses in the UK, which is a colossal increase on the 70,000 strong business community of the 1980s.

Fortitude Plethora, a sales and event marketing firm based in Manchester believe that whilst the numbers speak for themselves, it's important to understand why entrepreneurship is becoming more prevalent in the UK; so that budding entrepreneurs can increase their chances of succeeding in the business environment. The firm credit the rise of entrepreneurship in part to the development of online technologies. Thanks to the internet, start-up businesses have the potential to reach a global market straight from the outset, and use social media and communication technologies to reach out to possible business partners, investors and customers from all over the world.

The internet also opens doors in other areas of business development. Websites such as 99 designs can link entrepreneurs up to affordable designers who can create logos, promotional materials and websites, whilst crowdfunding sites can help entrepreneurs raise the capital they need to launch and drum up interest and a potential client base. This saves them the cost and hassle of embarking on an expensive marketing campaign before official launch.

However, Fortitude Plethora believes that one of the main reasons entrepreneurship has flourished over the last few years is due to the increased support available among the entrepreneurial community. Today's entrepreneurs are far more focused on 'paying it back' and understand that for the UK economy to grow sharing knowledge and skills with entrepreneurs of the future is a must. Fortitude Plethora is also committed to this process and have dedicated much time and effort into imparting their knowledge and industry know-how to young sales and marketing professionals. The firm hope that they will pursue entrepreneurship and contribute to the continued growth of the industry.

Based in Manchester, Fortitude Plethora is at the epicentre of one of the UK's most exciting start up hubs. The firm have experienced the drive and determination of the city's young entrepreneurs first hand and are confident that, as long as these individuals continue to be supported and nurtured, entrepreneurship is only set to gain even more power across the UK.
