• Brits would rather start businesses alone than with friends or family
• Mothers have the hardest time in the startup scene
• Fear of a financial crash: lack of money keeps many Brits from starting up
• Digitisation continues to gain traction, especially during the pandemic

The Corona crisis has changed many people's attitudes toward jobs and self-employment. But to what extent? We asked our British participants about their attitude towards their work. In our e-book, you'll find out how satisfied British citizens are with their current jobs and what they think about self-employment.

The results of the survey on job satisfaction are surprising: more than a quarter of the participants are dissatisfied with their current job situation. Women seem to be particularly unhappy at work. If you are interested in why the British are so disappointed in their jobs and why women still - in this day and age - suffer from unequal treatment in the workplace, then download the IONOS SE e-book here for free.

The British believe that self-employment makes you happier. Reasons as to why include flexible workings and better earning opportunities. Yet, only a few embark on starting their own business. So what scares them from doing so? What support would they require to make the jump into self-employment, especially during a pandemic?

Quote: “It is the lack of financial resources that most often prevents potential founders from implementing their business ideas. Better financial support would encourage more Brits to start their own businesses.”

Many British people see the crisis as an opportunity: the pandemic has increased the desire to start a business in the UK - even though one might think that the crisis has increased the desire for security. The opposite seems to be the case: It seems that many no longer rely on their employer and see the need to take action themselves. Women especially so, they are on the rise and see a start-ups as an opportunity to achieve a better work-life balance.

Taking matters into your own hands: We show you why so many Brits would like to quit their jobs due to dissatisfaction at work and why having your own start-up can offer a way out of this dissatisfaction. In our e-book, you'll also find out why Brits often don't take the final step toward their own start-up – and why women continue to have a hard time in the start-up scene. In addition, we have explored the impacts of the Corona crisis and explain why the pandemic has increased the attraction for self-employment and the important role digitalisation plays in such situations.
