Top 5 Small Business Trends for 2025  At The Grange, we work with businesses of all shapes and sizes, giving us a unique view of what’s on the horizon. Hosting events and meeting diverse clients means we get to see first-hand what’s shaping the small business landscape for 2025. Here are the top five trends we think you should know about:  1. Collaborative Experiences Solo workshops are becoming a thing of the past. Businesses are turning to multi-expert events that deliver more bang for their buck. We’ve seen it ourselves with sell-out events featuring marketers, photographers, and stylists teaming up to offer full-package solutions. Not only do attendees get more value, but organisers also share the workload and reach broader audiences. Strategic collaborations are making events more engaging and successful.  2. Micro-Retreats and Time Out No one has an attention span anymore so you can forget drawn-out conferences and day long board meetings – shorter, focused micro-retreats and time outs are taking over. These one-day sessions pack all the essential elements into a compact format, delivering powerful results. Businesses are opting for inspiring venues like The Grange to step away from daily pressures and spark creativity and get twice the amount of work done outside of the office. The calm, peaceful environment is perfect for brainstorming, planning, and realigning with goals.  3. Hybrid Workspace Solutions The traditional office isn’t what it used to be and homeworking is the norm. More businesses are choosing flexible workspaces for key meetings and strategy days to save money and resources leasing large offices . Booking premium venues and having exclusive hire creates the right atmosphere for confidentiality, important discussions, boosting productivity and creativity. Companies that have hired our space tell us “this level of privacy allows us to fully focus and achieve so much more. It’s amazing what a difference the right environment can make in driving creative thinking and team alignment."  4. Community-First Events Businesses are prioritising events that give back and strengthen their communities. Whether it’s hosting local celebrations like International Women’s Day or partnering with charities, there’s a shift towards purpose-driven gatherings. Coworking initiatives are also on the rise, giving entrepreneurs and remote workers a chance to collaborate and network. We host monthly coworking sessions at The Grange, providing a space for local businesses to connect and grow together and we saw them become more and more popular as 2024 went on with more dates being requested.  5. Business Reflection & Well-Being More businesses and business owners are realising that stepping away from work can actually boost productivity. Reflective retreat days that mix goal-setting with well-being activities like journaling, sound baths, cookery, yoga, and vision boarding are gaining popularity. It’s all about recharging while staying focused on business growth. We already have 7 days that fall into this category booked in for 2025 showing that investing in well-being is high up the priority list this year and there’s no sign of that slowing down.  At The Grange, we’re proud to be part of these exciting trends, providing the space and atmosphere to inspire innovation and connection.   If any of these resonate with your plans for 2025, we’d love to hear from you.
