Costs are rising. Margins are shrinking. And it feels like another bill lands every week.
Charlie kicks this one off with a proper rant about rising ICO fees (which gets awkward fast). But underneath the humour is something real — the cumulative pressure small businesses are feeling.
Matt shares what it’s like watching a £500k VAT payment leave the account — and why “it’s not your money” doesn’t make it feel any better.
Then the conversation turns bigger.
Ireland is cutting hospitality VAT to 9%. The UK is still at 20%.
With labour costs climbing, energy high and business rates biting — are we squeezing one of the country’s biggest youth employers into the ground?
They break down:
📊 Why VAT feels invisible to consumers but painful to founders
☕ What’s really happening to pubs, coffee shops and restaurants
👥 Why hospitality matters for young people and future entrepreneurs
💷 Whether VAT thresholds should be scrapped or dramatically raised
🔥 Why small policy shifts can change everything on the ground
No scripts. No spin. Just two business owners reacting to what’s actually happening right now.
