The UK is the finance capital of Europe and potentially the world and it is famous for big business and innovation. There are so many companies in the city and they all have their own global footprint, it is frightening how far business in the UK has come over the past 30 years and this rise doesn’t look like stopping.
One of the fundamental reasons for this is the adaptive nature of the country and business as a whole, the UK isn’t afraid to move with the times and adapt technologies and policy to move fluidly with the changing desires of its population.
There are many other factors as well that will be discussed in this article despite its main focus being on the future and where I see business in the UK heading.
We live in the internet age and thus this is going to be a major factor in the future shaping of business and what methods companies take in order to reach out to a wider client base.
Online
The majority of business in the UK is going to be online in the future that is the only way I can see things heading. The internet now has such a prominent role and this role is only going to increase as the years go on.
There are many companies out there offer online only services which is staggering considering what the business world was like 15 years ago. We live in an every changing world and business is just the latest passenger on this journey to efficiency.
Many businesses now internally run based on a cocktail of emails and software, just imagine what it is going to be like in 20 years, there will probably be robots doing the filing and fully voice automated computers.
Innovative Service
Companies are going to need to implement progressively innovative services if they are to keep up with the changes that are occurring. You will just not get the customers if your website isn’t up to scratch, it is essential that you invest early in your companies online profile if you are to be able to swiftly move with the times.
Check out the JaguarPC website to get a good idea of the cost of web domains and hosting as well as the potential addition of SEO services that can greatly increase the prominence of your company profile online. This is a service that is going to become increasingly important as the years go on and I think it should be taken very seriously as a concept.
Research has shown that the sites on the first or second page of a Google results page are more likely to receive hits than ones lower down.
Self Service
Business in the UK is just going to be come self-serviced, there will be no staff working at the tills and people will be able to purchase and collect their products (whatever they may be) on the same day within minutes.
It is the way things are now and if you don’t like it, I suggest you start liking it.
