Welcome to the Small Business Awards 2023 Small businesses are rightly regarded as the primary catalysts of social and economic development. According to Forbes, small businesses account for over 50% of global employment and constitute 90% of all worldwide businesses. As the predominant drivers of economic growth and employment, small businesses are invaluable to both innovation and the strength of each nation. Corporate Vision Magazine’s Small Business Awards 2023 was established both to bring recognition to these often overlooked champions and to highlight the extent of small businesses’ beneficial contributions to society. From everyday services which add convenience and joy to our lives, to the supplementation of emergency services such as medical transport, or the delivery of aid to those in need; small businesses enhance almost every element of our lives, no matter how big or small. Most recently SMEs have helped to provide financial and employment support to Ukrainian refugees; an undeniably valuable service for those whose future is uncertain. During the pandemic, many small businesses paused their regular operations and decided to begin producing sterilisation and PPE equipment to assist in combating the crisis. These are just two examples of how small businesses often act as vital supports to society, and how their impact does not stop at social and economic development.
