Answer:

1. Britain had large amounts of coal and iron which benefited the Industrial Revolution.

2. Had labor supply due to population growth and from unemployed farm laborers that went to the big cities to look for work.

3. Government was business friendly and business people influenced government to get the parliament to pass laws that helped businesses grow.
