AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoStartup Support: India is weighing faster approvals, regulatory sandboxes and shared labs to cut costs for biopharma startups. Funding Access: African startups raised $2.16 billion in the first nine months of 2026, but the number securing at least $100,000 fell 18%, pointing to a funding pool increasingly concentrated in fewer businesses. Tax Cash Flow: From 2029, three million UK sole traders are due to move to regular tax payments; the transition could mean paying two years’ tax in one year, drawing warnings from small-business advocates. Small-Business Conditions: B.C. confidence slipped below the growth-neutral mark in October, as weak demand, high costs and limited working capital held back hiring plans. Digital Skills: Google’s free, downloadable training platform offers more than 15 courses, including AI, cybersecurity and digital marketing, and aims to train three million Africans by 2030.
