The Budget Unravelled


Date: 29 Oct 2026
Time: 4:30 - 6:30

The 2026 Autumn Budget could have serious implications. Don’t just understand the changes. Know what to do next.

On the 28th of October, Chancellor John Healey will announce his 2026 Autumn Budget and from that moment on, there will be no shortage of opinions about what it means.

But the headlines won’t give you a plan…

What will the Budget mean for your business, your finances and the decisions you need to make next?

Join Chalkhill Blue and Purple Lime on 29th of October to answer that very question! We’ll bring together strategic and financial expertise to examine the changes that matter and, crucially, what you should do about them.

What we’ll cover:

We’ll focus on the areas where the 2026 Autumn Budget will have the biggest implications for business owners.

  • Business & Tax
    What could change for your finances, taxation, costs and profitability?
  • People & Payroll
    What could the Budget mean for employment costs, salaries and your wider team?
  • Growth & Investment
    Could changes create opportunities or alter plans around growth, technology, R&D or investment?
  • Funding & Cashflow
    What could the changes mean for working capital, borrowing and your ability to fund your plans?
  • Personal Wealth & Exit
    How could changes affect income, dividends, pensions, wealth planning and your longer-term exit strategy?

We’ll focus on the implications and actions, rather than simply repeating the Budget announcement.

What you’ll leave with:

By the end of the session, you’ll have:

  • A clear understanding of the Budget changes relevant to you
  • Insight into the impact on your business and personal finances
  • The key risks and opportunities to consider
  • A clear view of what may need reviewing
  • Practical next steps for responding to the changes
  • Questions to take to your accountant, advisers or leadership team

The aim isn’t to understand every line of the Budget. It’s to understand the changes that matter and know what to do about them.

Who is it for?

This event is aimed at:

  • SME owners and Managing Directors
  • Entrepreneurs
  • Business leaders
  • Finance and Operations Directors
  • Owners planning for growth or investment
  • Business owners considering succession or exit

The cost of waiting…

By Wednesday, you’ll know what Chancellor John Healey has announced.

But will you know what it truly means for you?

Waiting for the headlines to settle or continuing with existing plans without reviewing the implications could mean missing opportunities or making decisions on incomplete information.

 

Just 2 hours could give you the insight you need to identify what needs attention and what to do next.

Places are limited to keep the event focused and valuable for those attending.

 

Don’t just read the Budget. Let us unravel it.
