Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
High cost of pensions red tape
Fresh pensions red tape will cost the economy up to £34billion, according to official estimates, amid warnings that government tax raids are already hurting growth.
A planned shake-up will force companies to pump more money into underfunded pension schemes and is estimated to cost businesses as much as £34billion, according to official estimates buried in a document released by the Pensions Regulator.
The Telegraph says the figure is £4billion higher than private-sector forecasts.
Sweeping new rules designed to prevent a repeat of the BHS pensions scandal could leave some businesses scrambling to find extra funds as soon as this year.
The plans, drawn up by Mel Stride's Department for Work and Pensions, will force firms that offer final-salary pensions to switch to low-risk investments by the time most members are retired. The changes will force companies to find billions more to fund schemes, given the lower returns than low-risk investments generate.
Electricity discount scheme triggered
A scheme that offers discounts on bills for households who cut peak-time electricity use will be triggered later today as the UK's cold snap continues.
National Grid said the initiative, which is part of its efforts to avoid blackouts and has only been used in tests so far, would run between 5pm and 6pm.
It has also asked for three coal-fired generators to be warmed up, according to the BBC.
National Grid said the measures were "precautionary" and it did not mean electricity supplies were at risk.
Prepayment meters investigation
Energy firms are to be investigated by the industry regulator following a sharp rise in the number of households being forced onto prepayment meters.
The regulator, Ofgem, is also warning companies it will take legal action if they are not taking proper due care of vulnerable households.
The BBC says that, on Sunday, the UK Government said suppliers should stop forcing households onto prepayment meters.
Islands Growth Deal signed
A £100million deal aimed at promoting economic prosperity in Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles has been signed.
The Islands Growth Deal was signed in Orkney by UK and Scottish government ministers and local council leaders.
The BBC says it is expected to lead to up to 1,300 jobs and £393million of investment over 10 years.
Scottish self-driving bus trial
A group of Scottish passengers have become the first in the UK to travel on a full-size, self-driving bus on public roads.
Volunteers were taken on an autonomous Stagecoach single-decker over the Forth Road Bridge.
The BBC says the trial was part of a project to have five self-driving buses run on a route between the capital and Fife.
Stagecoach, which is aiming to launch the full service in the spring, announced that the test had been successful.
Poll blow to Sturgeon
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's hopes of securing Scottish independence have suffered a fresh blow after a new poll showed a majority of Scots would vote against breaking away from the rest of the UK.
The Survation survey, carried out from January 10-12, found that 54% would vote "no" in an independence referendum with backing for a "yes" vote at 46% after "don't knows" were removed.
The Telegraph says it is the first poll on Scottish independence released this year and follows a number of surveys towards the end of last year that had put "yes"ahead.
Support for steelmakers
The UK Government is expected to announce hundreds of millions of pounds of support to help Britain's two biggest steelmakers go green.
The BBC says the funding for British Steel and Tata Steel UK is likely to be unveiled by the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, this week.
Each is expected to receive around £300m of grants to help pay for a switch away from coal-fired blast furnaces and help with energy costs.
Ann Gloag charged
Scottish transport tycoon Dame Ann Gloag has been charged with human-trafficking offences.
Her husband David McCleary and two other members of their family have also been charged.
The BBC says all four strongly deny the charges against them.
It was told that the 80-year-old co-founder of Stagecoach was charged after voluntarily attending Falkirk police station with Mr McCleary for an interview on Thursday.
The allegations are believed to relate to people who were brought to Scotland as part of Dame Ann's charity work with the Gloag Foundation.
Prime Minister fined
Rishi Sunak has been fined for not wearing a seatbelt in a moving car while filming a social-media video.
Lancashire Police said it had issued a 42-year-old man from London with a conditional offer of a fixed penalty.
No.10 said Mr Sunak "fully accepts this was a mistake and has apologised".
The BBC says the PM was in Lancashire when the video was filmed, during a trip across the north of England.
The video - to promote the government's latest round of "levelling up" spending- was posted on Mr Sunak's Instagram account.
Flee claim
Elizabeth Holmes attempted to flee the US shortly after her conviction on fraud charges last year, prosecutors claim.
According to a new court filing, the 38-year-old Theranos founder bought a one-way ticket to Mexico last January.
"Only after the government raised this unauthorised flight...was the trip cancelled," prosecutors said.
Holmes was convicted for defrauding investors in her blood-testing start-up that was once valued at £7.5billion.
The BBC says the former Silicon Valley star falsely claimed the technology could diagnose disease with just a few drops of blood. But it did not work and - facing multiple lawsuits - the company was dissolved in 2018.
Holmes was convicted of defrauding investors, and sentenced in November to more than 11 years in prison.
She appealed her conviction shortly after.
