Brexit and the UK commercial property market
Research from Real Capital Analytics has found that Germany's unseated the UK as the most active commercial real-estate market in Europe. It says the data reflects greater caution amongst investors toward Britain after it voted to leave the European Union. But City of London solicitors, Rosling King, who specialise in the sector, paints a rosier picture. They argue the UK will still have one of the biggest and most dynamic commercial real estate markets, regardless of Brexit uncertainty.

How can National Apprenticeship week mend the construction sector skills gap?

How would a Minimum Excise Tax for cigarettes affect independent retailers?
With the Spring Budget just around the corner, certain industries might be feeling a little worried with tax hikes on the horizon. One of the suggested tax hikes is cigarette tax, with the Chancellor expected to set a Minimum Excise Tax for cigarettes. There are concerns amongst retailers that this tax could have a major impact on their sales, as well as potentially costing UK taxpayers an estimated £1.2 billion in lost revenue. Will Hill, Director of British American Tobacco UK, joined Share Radio Breakfast to discuss this further.

Interview with Paypal's UK MD: How can they help UK SMEs and could there be a tie up with Amazon?
Small to medium size businesses in the UK say that their International Paypal sales have risen 34% from July to December. The online payment system says its no small part down to an increase down to devaluation of the pound since the EU referendum result. Meanwhile, rumours abound there may be a tie up between Paypal and Amazon. Global CEO Dan Schulman has admitted there's been "conversations," and analysts say a deal would benefit both companies. Paypal has 200 million users, and Amazon want to make it easier for infrequent customers to pay. Share radio's James Brydges spoke to PayPal's UK Managing director, Mark Brant, about both topics.

Pre-Budget analysis: Will we see increased funding on social care and cuts to business rates?
The Spring budget is just a day away now, Philip Hammond's first as Chancellor. The last one before the Brexit. And by all accounts whatever small surprises he manages to spring there will be some tax rises to meet a fresh round of spending commitments. How else will he meet extra spending on social care, for example, or that promised business rate relief? With the Spring Budget imminent, predictions on what the Chancellor will have to offer or what he will not offer are well underway. So what can we expect? Nigel Cassidy was joined by Bill Dodwell, Head of Tax Policy at Deloitte to give his pre-budget analysis.
