The findings from Novuna Business Finance show that current geo-political uncertainty is dominating the disruption felt by small business owners this spring, proving to be far more significant than local or immediate market challenges. The most significant barriers to growth cited included: macro-economic uncertainty (51%), rising oil prices (32%) and, as a consequence of this, the impact on higher running costs (31%). In contrast, the cost of skilled labour (20%), volatile cashflow (17%), fluctuating exchange rates (7%), digital proficiency (6%) and having out-dated equipment (5%) emerged as relatively smaller concerns.

Who’s being held back the most by rising energy and fuel prices in the UK?

Around the UK, small business in geographical extremes were far more likely to be impacted by rising energy price rises. Business owners in Scotland (40%), Wales (38%) and the South West of England (42%) were significantly more likely than the national average (32%) to say the impact of overseas conflicts on energy and fuel prices in the UK were a barrier holding their business back from growing.

By industry sector, small businesses in Transport, Retail and Manufacturing were most likely to say that rising energy and fuel prices were material barriers holding back business growth.

·      Transport & distribution -58%

·      Retail – 45%

·      Manufacturing – 41%

·      Hospitality – 36%

·      Construction – 35%

·      Agriculture – 35%

Jo Morris, Head of Insight at Novuna Business Finance comments: “Some may assume that conflict in the Gulf is a far-away issue that only affects governments and big businesses. Our findings show how quickly and how deeply UK small businesses have felt the impact of rising energy and fuel prices in the UK. Businesses that rely on heavy equipment and transport seem to have felt the impact most significantly – as have those enterprises based in extreme points of the UK, businesses that may have bigger transport and shipping costs.”

“Overall, the that fact four in five enterprises cite factors that are holding back business growth is significant. Actual growth forecasts each Quarter have been relatively static for some time. Whilst the vast majority of enterprises started the year working on new initiatives to secure growth, this is counter-balanced by the very high number that are trying to overcome obstacles and external market pressures. Our tracking suggests that if we want to see a major upturn in UK small business growth forecasts for the summer and autumn months, it is the barriers that need to be tackled first – and urgently. Today’s figures on barriers to growth give us an early indication of what to expect from actual growth forecasts for the months ahead.”

This new research from Novuna Business Finance comes at a time when some governments and major businesses have softened their commitments to Net Zero, emissions and sustainability. The Novuna Business Finance data suggests UK small businesses are emerging as the business community’s new flag-bearers on maintaining a focus and commitment to sustainability. This coincides with an improved business outlook for the year ahead. Data from Novuna’s Business Barometer tracker revealed that construction small businesses have started 2026 with an upturn in growth forecasts. Just 17% of construction enterprises were predicting growth during the final months of 2025, for the start of 2026 this had risen to 24%. 

The new Novuna Business Finance poll of 1,000 small business owners revealed the specific aspects of sustainability that construction businesses rated as more important going into 2026:

·      38% prioritised improving policies and facilities towards packaging and waste – and recycling for products and services; 

·      37% of construction businesses placed greater importance on their business having a positive social impact in their immediate community;

·      a further 17% said they were investing in local suppliers or contractors and 13% were committed to creating jobs locally.

In terms of who has been most influential in encouraging small business owners to take sustainability seriously – the close relationship many construction small businesses have with their customers and staff plays a significant role. Nationally, 27% of respondents mentioned the influence of their customers and 26% cited the influence of staff members. A reminder that business owners are also everyday consumers – 18% of small business owners mentioned their partner and 17% the pester power of their children, in committing their enterprises to sustainability.

The new research coincides with the launch of series 10 of the Sustainable Business Podcast, in which Novuna Business Finance continues to explore real-life stories from small business owners on the relationship between sustainability and business growth. This season is dedicated to the construction sector – and one of the guests featured is Sarah Hallman, Managing Director of BuyMetalOnline, which is a family sheet metal supply business, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Developed by industry experts with over 30 years’ experience, BuyMetalOnline prides itself on the high quality of both its products and customer service. 

Sarah Hallman, Managing Director of BuyMetalOnline comments: “Our customers appreciate that we’re helping them be more sustainable. We’ve focused on reducing waste by selling offcuts directly to consumers rather than letting them go to scrap. It’s practical, it saves resources and reduces waste. Even as supply chains tighten and costs rise, these small, everyday steps are manageable and they make real a difference to our carbon footprint as a business.”

Jo Morris, Head of Insight at Novuna Business Finance adds: “From our podcast interviews and the new research, a strong picture emerges of construction small businesses investing in sustainable practices. Despite the enormous market uncertainty the sector has faced in recent years, many business owners believe sustainability makes business sense and it’s often driven by their customers. Small business owners are typically closer to their customers and see first-hand the value in supporting the communities where they operate or do business. Underpinning clear signs of small business resilience in the sector, there is a commitment to innovate, and a willingness to modernise and adapt. Sustainability is important to many small business owners for 2026 – whether this is focusing on green issues, local employment, community investment or boosting their financial resilience.”

“At Novuna Business Finance, our aim is to listen and find helpful and workable solutions to support small businesses turn these ideas into practical action. Many want to do more on sustainability but aren’t always sure where to start. Sometimes it’s a lack of financial resources, other times uncertainty about what’s required, and often the landscape can feel complex. That’s why we help break it down into achievable steps, celebrate progress, and give businesses the confidence to act and keep building from there.”

A business FX strategy is a framework your company uses to manage currency risk from international cash flows, budgeting, and balance-sheet translation, combining measurement, limits, scenario planning, hedging instruments, execution and review.

Why is 2025 different for FX risk?

Global central banks continue to shift interest rates in response to inflation, growth and geopolitical uncertainty.

Volatility in FX markets is elevated as capital flows adjust across regions.

Regulatory scrutiny, settlement risk concerns, and liquidity dynamics are stronger than in past cycles.

The BIS’s 2025 Triennial Survey underscores that FX turnover and OTC derivatives markets remain massive and evolving in structure.

Step-by-Step: Building Your FX Strategy for 2025

Below is a six-step roadmap — each complemented with considerations, challenges, and action points.

In-Depth: Choosing & Using Hedging Tools

Here’s a deeper look at tools you’ll want on your policy menu in 2025:

• Spot / Forward contracts — basic tools to lock in a rate for future delivery.
• Swaps / currency swaps — to exchange a series of cash flows across time.
• Options & collars — cap your downside (or fund upside) against adverse moves.
• Natural hedging / matching — match receivables and payables in same currency internally.
• Dynamic / regime-switching models — e.g. recent BoE research uses regime-switching to time hedges.

      Pre-hedging / liquidity provider techniques — many liquidity providers engage in “pre-hedging” (with controls) to meet large client orders.

When selecting instruments, always consider:

1. Cost — forward points, option premiums, slippage.
2. Liquidity — how easily you can enter/exit.
3. Accounting & tax treatment — hedge accounting rules vary by jurisdiction.
   

Counterparty risk — credit lines, netting, collateral.

Best Practices & 2025 Risk Trends

Mitigate settlement risk — increasingly critical in cross-currency trades.

Avoid overcautious hedging — you don’t need to hedge 100 % of exposure; aim for a portfolio view.

Stress test for “dollar scramble” scenarios — BIS warns that unwind of swaps could spike demand for USD.

Use regime models — when markets are trending vs volatile, timing matters.

Ensure governance & controls — clear roles, limits, escalation paths.

Live review cycle — no strategy is “set and forget.”

FAQ 

Q: How much of my exposure should I hedge?
A: Typically 30–80 %, depending on risk appetite, cash flow certainty, and cost constraints.

Q: Can small and medium businesses (SMEs) use hedging instruments?

A: Yes — even SMEs can use forward contracts, options, or natural hedging. See UK SME FX guidance 2025.

Q: What if I miss the “right moment” to hedge?

A: That’s why you build flexibility and rules (e.g. layering, limits) — you can’t time perfectly always.

Q: How often should I review the strategy?
A: At least quarterly; but market or business changes may trigger ad hoc revisions.

Q: What’s the regulatory oversight on business FX in the UK?
A: The HM Treasury publishes FX guidance; any use of complex derivatives may require approval under public sector FX guidance.

Conclusion

In 2025, currency volatility is a given — not an afterthought. A robust business FX strategy means combining measurement, limits, instrument choice, execution discipline and iterative review. Start with your exposures, stress test, and build a layered hedging plan aligned to your business’s risk tolerance.

Key Takeaways on Radiators in UK

• Before removing a radiator, turn off the heating and close all valves to avoid water spills.
• Use an adjustable wrench and radiator bleed key for loosening nuts and draining water.
• Place a bucket under the bleed valve to catch water and use towels to clean up any spills.
• After draining, detach the radiator gently from wall brackets and store it in a dry place.
• Check valves for leaks after removal and seal if necessary to prevent drips.

Tools You Will Need

Grabbing the right gear before starting is key. You’ll need a few bits and bobs – think of an adjustable spanner, a container to catch drips, some rags, and a special key for letting air out.

Adjustable wrench

An adjustable wrench is your trusty partner in this radiator mission. It’s a must-have for turning those tricky nuts and bolts without a fuss. Before you start, make sure the wrench fits snugly around the radiator valves to avoid any slips that might sing you the old song of bangs and bruises.

Next up, you’ll need something to catch water. Let’s talk buckets and trays.

A good adjustable wrench turns problems into solutions.

Bucket or tray

Grab a bucket or tray before you start. This is because you’ll need somewhere to catch the water that comes out of the radiator. The last thing anyone wants is a wet floor! I found this out the hard way during my first attempt at removing a radiator.

Water was everywhere, and it took ages to clean up. So, make sure your bucket or tray is big enough to hold all the water. Once it’s under the valve, you’re ready to move on.

Towels or cloths

Now that we have a bucket or tray in place, it’s time to grab towels or cloths. These are not just for drying your hands. They’re heroes in cleaning up spills. While working on designer radiators or any radiator, water can get everywhere.

A quick wipe with a towel keeps things dry and safe. It’s also key for drying the radiator before packing it away. Whether it’s a luxury model or a compact choice, keeping all parts dry is vital. Additionally, certain radiator designs may not effectively draw cold air up, which can influence overall heat distribution and output, ultimately affecting the comfort of the space.

Towels come in handy when you least expect it. Say you’re removing an electric radiator and water drips onto the floor; a cloth quickly soaks it up, preventing slips. Or maybe you’re polishing off a chrome radiator to store; cloths help buff out any smudges, leaving it shiny and new-looking again for when you reinstall later on.

Radiator bleed key

A radiator bleed key comes in handy to get rid of trapped air. You need it to open the bleed valve when you want to drain water from your radiator. This small tool makes a big difference, making sure your radiator works right.

Without releasing this trapped air, your radiator might not heat up properly. It’s like trying to drink through a straw that’s only half open – not much gets through. So, grab your bleed key and let the air out; it’s a quick fix that keeps your heating system running smoothly.

Preparing the Radiator for Removal

Before you start taking out that radiator, make sure your heating system is off and the valves are tightly closed. This step is like tying your shoelaces before a run – it stops any surprise spills! Keen to learn how? Keep reading, we’re just warming up.

Turn off the heating system

First things first, make sure the central heating is off. This stops hot water from moving around in the system while you get to work on the radiator. Sounds simple, but it’s a step no DIYer should skip, especially if you fancy not getting a surprise splash of hot water.

I learned this the hard way when I forgot once and ended up with a mini flood in my living room.

Always turn off your heating before starting any radiator work—it saves more than just energy; it might just save your floor too.

After flicking off the central heating, give it some time to cool down. You don’t want to rush into handling radiators filled with hot water. Patience here means you’re less likely to have accidents or burns, making for a safer job all round.

Shut off the radiator valves

To stop the water flow, you need to close both the inlet and outlet valves on your radiator. This step is key because it stops water from coming in and going out of the radiator. It’s like turning off a tap to stop water flow before you start fixing things.

Make sure to do this for all valves, whether they’re on designer radiators, vertical radiators, or even those fancy modern radiators that look more like art than heaters.

Now with no more water flowing, you’re set to get rid of any water left inside. Let’s move on to draining it next.

Draining the Radiator

Draining the radiator is a bit like letting air out of a balloon, slow and steady wins the race. You’ll want your bucket or pan ready to catch any water that comes out when you open the bleed valve with your radiator key.

It’s not rocket science, but it sure feels like an achievement once you’ve done it without flooding the room. Ready to learn more? Keep reading, and we’ll walk you through the whole process, step by step.

Place a bucket or tray under the valve

Grab a bucket or tray and get it right under the valve. This simple move is your best friend to avoid water spills on the floor. Think of it as a superhero cape for your flooring, protecting it from any unexpected water attacks.

It’s all about keeping things tidy while you tackle the radiator.

Water, water everywhere, and not a drop on the floor.

I’ve been there myself, wrestling with a heavy old radiator. You turn that valve and whoosh — out comes the water! Luckily, having my trusty bucket in place meant no mess on my new carpet.

It’s one of those moments where you pat yourself on the back for thinking ahead. Trust me; your floors will thank you for this small but mighty step.

Open the bleed valve to release water

To start draining your radiator, you’ll need the bleed key. Turn this key in the bleed valve at the top of the radiator. This lets water out and makes the radiator lighter. It’s a simple step but crucial in removing any designer radiators, be it vertical or horizontal ones easily. This step is also essential for maintaining the heating performance of designer radiators, ensuring they provide state-of-the-art heating solutions.

Keep towels handy for any spills while you do this. Water flowing out means you’re on the right track. This process is important for all types of radiators, including modern and energy-efficient models, ensuring they are safe to remove from your wall without making a mess or causing damage.

Disconnecting the Radiator

Loosening the nuts that connect the radiator to the valves is like unscrewing a jar of pickles – simple but needs a bit of elbow grease. Next, you’ll gently lift it off its wall brackets as if you’re taking a cat off your favourite chair.

Read on to find out how this step leads to a warmer, cosier home without the fuss!

Loosen the nuts connecting the radiator to the valves

Grab your adjustable wrench for this bit. These nuts are tight, and they need a good twist to come loose. It’s like opening a jam jar that’s been shut too tight – apply some elbow grease and turn those nuts anti-clockwise.

I’ve done this more times than I can count, especially with those modern radiators that look sleek but can be quite snug against the valves.

Next up is gently pulling away from the wall brackets. Sounds easy, right? But it’s a bit like trying not to wake someone while sneaking out of bed; you want to be smooth and careful.

The knack lies in balancing strength with gentleness when loosening those nuts.

Carefully detach the radiator from the wall brackets

It’s time to carefully take the radiator off its wall brackets. Do ensure you have a strong grasp. These objects can be surprisingly bulky, particularly the large designer radiators, flat panel radiators, or those appealing cast iron ones we all prefer for their aesthetic and heat generation.

I discovered this unexpectedly while initially attempting to remove a radiator; it almost slipped! If the weight is challenging, consider asking someone for assistance.

When it’s loosened, gently move it away from the wall. Avoid any abrupt actions that could harm your walls or, even worse, the radiator itself. Recollect the energy you invested in selecting that ideal contemporary or traditional radiator? We should keep it in excellent condition for when it’s time to reattach or relocate it.

Cleaning and Storing the Radiator

After you’ve drained your radiator, give it a good scrub. Dry places are best for keeping it safe until next time. Want to know more tricks? Keep reading.

Empty any remaining water

Tilt the radiator to get rid of leftover water. This step needs some muscle but it’s simple. You want to make sure no water is hiding inside. Water can mess with storage and cleaning.

After tilting, check if the radiator is dry before you move on. I learnt this the hard way once, thinking it was all out, only to find a puddle later! So give it a good shake if needed.

Dry radiators are happy radiators, ready for their next use or storage spot without any fuss.

Clean the radiator thoroughly

Grab a clean cloth. Now, gently wipe down the radiator to remove any dust or debris. This step makes sure your designer radiator is ready for storage. It’s like giving it a little spa day before its big rest.

Next, check every nook and cranny. Sometimes, bits hide where you least expect them. Your aim? A spotless radiator that looks almost new. This care keeps your heating system efficient and prolongs the life of modern radiators. Maintaining a clean radiator is crucial for preserving its heat output, ensuring it remains effective in heating your space.

Plus, it ensures they’re in tip-top shape when you need them again.

Store the radiator in a safe, dry place

Now that the radiator is clean, it’s time to find it a new spot. A safe, dry place is best. This keeps rust away and stops any damage. Look around your home for a corner where it won’t get in the way or knocked over.

Make sure this spot stays dry and not too cold. Basements might seem like a good idea, but if they’re damp, think again. Your clean radiator should be kept far from moisture to stay in tip-top shape for when you need it next.

Final Checks

After all is said and done, take a moment to give the valves a good once-over for any drips or leaks. If you spot anything suspicious, it might be time to grab some sealant and make sure those valve pipes are as tight as a drum.

Inspect the valves for leaks and check heat output

Look closely at the radiator valves. You’re checking for any water that shouldn’t be there. If you spot drips, you’ve found a leak. It’s vital to sort this out before moving on. No one wants a surprise puddle in their house.

To fix leaks, sometimes all it takes is tightening the valve with an adjustable spanner. But if that doesn’t stop the water, you might need new radiator accessories or even to call in some help from a pro.

Keeping your heating system dry and drip-free is key.

Seal off the valve pipes if necessary

To stop any leaks, using the right caps is a must. They keep unwanted drips at bay after you’ve taken the radiator off. It’s all about keeping the spot dry and tidy, really. Then, check those valve pipes well.

If they look like trouble might start, seal them up tight with a cap that fits just right.

Next up, give everything one last look to make sure it’s all snug and leak-free before moving on.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Designer Radiator

Taking off a radiator might seem like a big job. But with the right tools, it’s doable. You need an adjustable spanner, something to catch water, some cloths, and a key to let air out.

First, turn your heating off and make sure both ends of the radiator don’t let water through. Then, you drain it by catching any drips in your bucket or tray as you open the air valve.

Next step? Loosen those nuts and lift the heater off its wall pegs. Make sure all water is out before cleaning it up for storage. After that, have a look at those valves to check they’re not leaking; if they are showing signs of wear or damage put a tight cover over them so no more leaks can happen.

So there you go! It’s not magic or rocket science – just simple steps for safely removing a radiator.

Between Christmas and New Year, Novuna Business Finance asked a representative sample of 255 small business owners which areas of sustainability had become more important to their enterprise than it was a year ago. Topping the list of findings was reviewing the energy usage – with many businesses intent to review their water use, heating and possibilities for making greater use of renewable energy. Other top green considerations included; switching to greener forms of transport (29%) and investing in new equipment and sustainable infrastructure (18%).

Beyond green and Net Zero issues, many small businesses see sustainability in the broadest sense. Nationally, 27% of small businesses said that improving working conditions and contracts for all employees (treating employees fairly) was more important to them than it was a year ago. Other sustainability issues rated more important for 2025 included: Creating jobs locally (32%), investing in local suppliers/contractors (16%) and having a positive social impact in my immediate community (27%).

Whilst the depth and range of sustainability goals prioritised for 2025 was significant, many small businesses also voiced concerns over the obstacles to achieving them. The top obstacles to investing in sustainable initiatives in 2025 included: Paying for high energy costs (55%), coping with rising fuel costs (47%), the prosect of rising inflation/interest rates (40%) and the economic impact of Government policies (i.e. budget changes to National Insurance) (48%). 

More broadly, more than seven in 10 small businesses (77%) said they were also fearful on how the Trump presidency could have a ripple effect and adversely impact the outlook for UK small businesses in 2025 and beyond. More than one in four small businesses (26%) feared the prospect of the new US administration placing less importance on climate change and the need for businesses to do their bit to work towards Net Zero targets. The possibility of increased market volatility impacting the UK was also a major concern and on two counts: 33% were concerned about the impact on UK economic growth forecasts and interest rates, whilst 22% feared the impact on their own trading relationships.

Regional findings

Around the UK, the commitment of small businesses to sustainability for 2025 is particularly strong in the East Midlands, West Midlands and in the North – the very regions that reported quarter on quarter increases in growth forecasts during 2024 [see notes to editors]. This suggests a possible correlation between businesses that are growing and those that invest in sustainability as part of their strategic planning.

The opposite could be said for Wales, where small businesses placed less importance on many sustainable initiatives factors and are consistently below the national averages. 

Jo Morris Head of Insight at Novuna Business Finance commented: “It is positive to see so many small businesses starting 2025 with a positive commitment to sustainable projects and for the vast majority to rate sustainability as more important than it was a year ago. This suggests that UK small businesses are not following external trends on these issues, rather they have their own sense of the important role that responsible businesses can play in positively supporting climate action, looking after staff, being financially resilient and to positively make a difference in the local community. Small businesses are doing more than attempting to be green in 2025 – they are true leaders in the sense that they are actively engaging with sustainability in the full meaning of the word. We will share more small business stories on sustainability through our podcast this year – a project that shines a light on inspiring small business success stories from around the UK.”  

The prestigious event, organised in collaboration with The UK eCommerce Association and hosted by British comedian and media personality, Ben Hanlin, gathered the top players in the eCommerce industry to recognise and reward excellence.

The Importance of Share Schemes

Employee share schemes offer workers the opportunity to own a stake in the companies they work for. This ownership can take various forms, including direct share purchase plans, stock options, and other share-based rewards. These schemes are designed to align the interests of employees and employers, encouraging employees to contribute to the company’s success and benefiting from its growth.

Key Benefits of Employee Share Schemes

1. Enhanced Employee Engagement: Employee share schemes can significantly enhance engagement levels. When employees have a financial stake in the company’s success, they are more likely to be motivated, productive, and committed to their work. This sense of ownership fosters a culture of collaboration and dedication.

2. Improved Retention and Recruitment: Companies that offer share schemes often find it easier to attract and retain top talent. Prospective employees are drawn to organizations that provide opportunities for financial growth and long-term investment. Existing employees are more likely to stay with a company where they feel valued and invested.

3. Increased Productivity and Innovation: Employees who participate in share schemes are more likely to think and act like owners. This mindset can lead to increased productivity and innovation as employees strive to contribute to the company’s success and, in turn, their own financial gain.

4. Financial Benefits for Employees: Share schemes provide employees with a direct financial benefit. As the company’s value grows, so does the value of their shares. This can lead to significant financial rewards, particularly for long-term employees.
