Once an afterthought in most transactions – except in pure technology acquisitions – intellectual property (IP) is moving to the centre of deal-making. Software, data, and AI shape nearly every product and service, and the know-how, data sets, and IP rights behind them increasingly determine whether a deal delivers its growth story.

Running a small business is rewarding, but demanding. From serving customers to managing cashflow and dealing with economic uncertainty, you are constantly juggling different demands and roles. The daily grind can also make it easy to forget about your accomplishments, and our latest research shows fewer than half (43%) of small businesses regularly get the opportunity to pause and celebrate their wins.

Staying human in a world tilted towards machines

Over my career I’ve worked with countless startups – some of which have gone on to become household names. The ones that stand out offer more than great products or clever marketing. They have a beating heart. They create moments that make people feel – joy, excitement, pride, nostalgia.

Co-pilots are the missing link in Europe’s AI adoption story

Small and mid-sized businesses have always won on something enterprise giants can’t copy: the personal relationship with their customers. But now those same customers expect AI-powered experiences as part of the service, and the tools on the market are built for companies with entire AI teams, six-month budgets, and enterprise-scale infrastructure. SMBs can’t afford to build that, but they also can’t afford not to have it.

Founder shares how she grew her award-winning business with heart

If you told me four years ago, I’d be running a thriving creative hub in the middle of Yorkshire – supporting nearly 50 local makers, hosting events, and heading to the House of Lords as part of the UK’s SmallBiz100 – I’d have laughed and said nope not me!

5 things every AI startup founder should demand from infrastructure partners

Ask any AI founder what keeps them up at night, and you’ll hear many of the same stories. Hidden infrastructure costs that blow up the burn rate without warning. Waiting weeks, or even months, for GPU capacity to come online. Scrambling to navigate compliance requirements that feel like a full-time job. These aren’t abstract problems. They are everyday hurdles that can delay product launches, frustrate investors, and stretch teams thin.

Why non-tech founders struggle to manage software consultancies

Launching a startup is a balancing act. You’re driving product development, fundraising, sales, and recruitment, often simultaneously. But for many non-technical founders, the most challenging area isn’t fundraising or sales. It’s building the product itself, especially when outsourcing to software consultancies.

Forget DIY: why winning SMEs partner for fintech success

When you run a small or medium-sized business, it’s tempting to believe that building your own technology is the best way to stay in control. After all, nobody knows your customers like you do. Surely the smartest move is to develop the tools you need, tailor-made for your market.

How AI is helping small businesses outthink big competitors

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have always impressed me with their agility and creativity. They are the ones who take bold risks, experiment quickly, and often bring real innovation to market first. But there’s no denying that, for years, large corporations had the upper hand in terms of resources, technology, and reach. What I’m seeing now, however, is a real shift. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is giving SMEs the kind of leverage that used to be reserved for the biggest players.
