A BBC study has revealed that the confidence of small business owners remains, on average, unchanged since April – which is about a good as we could expect given the general doom and gloom of the British economic climate.

The report on ten UK small business owners showed an average level of confidence at 7.6 out of 10. Another three businesses questioned in the sample group revealed that confidence in business had actually grown, with an average level of 8.3 out of 10 reported.

So long as these businesses are a representative sample then perhaps we can allow ourselves a little optimism for the future well-being of Britain’s small business enterprises.

Are there any businesses that are being more or less confident?
