Labor knows the value of small business. You are not only the lifeblood of our community, you are essential to our economic success.
That's why we've launched an ambitious plan to support small businesses.
- Enact legislation to address late payments: Resolve £20bn of unpaid bills
- Scrap business rate: and replace it with a system that is fairer for brick-and-mortar businesses.
- Revitalize the boulevards: Responding to anti-social behavior and forces occupying vacant stores
- Promote exports of small and medium enterprises: Remove barriers to export with clear information and support
- New directions for skills: Collaboration with technical excellence colleges that connect to regional economic needs
- Let's build Britain again: By speeding up the planning system and unblocking the grid,
- To make the UK a clean energy powerhouse: To lower prices and improve energy security
- Best places to start and scale up: Improved access to finance and more spin-outs from universities
- There are ample opportunities for public contracts: Guaranteed shortlisting for small businesses
Jonathan Reynolds MP, Shadow Minister for Business and Trade, will be taking the scheme on tour to hear your experiences and get your feedback.
