Small Business Voices Wales – Episode 3: Is the System Stacked Against Small Businesses?

 

In this episode, hosts Franck Banza and Kim Mamhende ask a big question: are the odds stacked against small businesses in Wales?

From spiralling costs and access to finance, to red tape and the controversial holiday let tax rules, this conversation dives into the everyday pressures business owners face. We explore how government policies can sometimes have unintended consequences—and what a fairer, more supportive system could look like.

This isn’t just about economics. It’s about people, communities, and the role small businesses play in keeping Wales thriving.
