“Modest growth this month reflects a positive outlook for businesses as we creep closer to the Bank of England’s end-of-year growth forecast.

“After the latest BDO business trends report indicated that employers’ hiring intentions had dropped in June for the first time in six months, a slight increase in GDP will be welcome news for businesses looking to build their businesses and expand their workforces. 

“However, with the economy still lagging behind industry expectations, it’s evident businesses will need more than a slight increase in GDP to maintain their confidence.

“With interest rates remaining high and inflation yet to reach comfortable levels, access to funding remains critical to business growth. To ensure the longevity of businesses, lenders must remain committed to supporting businesses through the ups and downs of economic waves.”
