Happy Local Business Week!
Local Business Week is an annual campaign encouraging the UK to get behind their local businesses, providing advice, support and ways to grow.
At Bucks Biz Business Centre, we have hundreds of different types of businesses renting office space in MK from insurance and building services to gyms, beauty services and even scuba diving!
We’ve put together a list of five reasons on why you should shop locally:
1) Economy: Research shows that just £10 spent with a local independent shop means £50 back into the local economy. This means that you can indirectly make a big impact on your local community without it costing you much.
2) Creating local jobs: When there’s an increase in demand, there always an increase in supply. Buying locally can boost the employment rates in your area by increasing the need for more workers.
3) The environment: The lure of next-day delivery makes it hard to resist online shopping. However, when you total the costs of that delivery on the environment, packaging and the fuel to transport the goods, buying local is much better for the environment.
4) Encouraging Entrepreneurs: Shopping locally supports local entrepreneurs and by helping their businesses to grow, you’ll be helping the local economy by increasing the number of jobs in your area.
5) Local business for local charities: A lot of local businesses support charities that are relevant to your area. Not only are you helping your community thrive economically, but you are also increasing charitable donations.
