AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoUK Small Business Relief: New PM Andy Burnham announced a 20% business rates cut for England’s pubs, clubs and live music venues from April 2027, saving the average pub about £1,100 a year; the plan covers nearly 32,000 venues but excludes the very largest live music sites, with funding tied to tighter rules on vape-shop relief and online sellers that don’t meet tax obligations.

SMB Growth Capital: Onramp Funds partnered with Margus Capital to expand faster, larger working-capital advances for eCommerce sellers across Amazon, Shopify and Walmart. Women & AI Skills: PLDT Enterprise and Smart backed the Central Luzon Women Entrepreneurs’ Summit, training women on AI, cybersecurity and digital growth.
