Brighton Property values and popularity depend, for a major part, on the overall economic strength of the city. Amid genuine fears that the recession brought of mass unemployment in the area – which thankfully so far have failed to manifest - one of the positive side-effects has been the boom in new business start ups – and Brighton is right at the forefront of that boom.
Over the past twelve months 395,000 new companies have been registered with Companies House – and of course, that doesnt figure for all the new sole-traders or private partnerships or LLPs!
Industry commentators suggest that this boom in new businesses is largely due to the internet. People recently made redundant have seen a stifled job market and given the relatively low set up costs of online businesses have been putting any redundancy payment or savings they may have to good use.
Brighton and Hove especially abound in this area of expertise. For a long time it has been acknowledged as a focus for the gaming industry as well as web design and other related industries – in fact it is estimated that up to approximately 16 % of employment within Brighton and Hove is within this field of commerce.
The beauty of this new wave of industry and self-reliance is the security it potentially offers – its often easier for a one-man-band to weather lean times than a company with overheads and 10 staff salaries to pay – plus this is definitely the direction that commerce is going to go, and for Brighton and Hove to be at the cutting edge of this movement bodes well for the economic well-being of all its citizens.
