Simplifying Business Support: A Consultation
Start: 22nd June 2007
Finish: 14th September 2007
The chancellor made a commitment to consult in the 2007 Budget and the consultation published today seeks views on the business support government might fund in the future.
It sets out the role of Business Link as the primary route to publicly-funded business support and seeks views on how Business Link can be developed to play this role. Finally, it seeks views on how to avoid business support schemes proliferating again once they have been simplified.
The consultation is aimed at business and their representatives (including social enterprises); local authorities and other public sector organisations; private, public and third sector organisations that are contracted to provide publicly funded support to business.
