Solutions for Business in Tough Times
| The global credit crunch coupled with major hikes in food and oil prices have transformed the UK and global economy in just a matter of months. Businesses of all shapes and sizes have seen operational costs escalate, especially for energy. All of this is impacting on sales revenues, operating margins and people’s livelihood and jobs. What is the Government doing specifically for businesses including you and your clients? |

In his forward to Solutions for Business: Supporting Success, Lord Mandelson states, “Publicly-funded business support – advice, loans and grants – can help individuals realise their entrepreneurial potential, help businesses start and grow, and help communities prosper and flourish”.
How does Supporting Success help in these difficult times? At first glance, the raft of 30 business support products and services looks promising – that is until you realise Supporting Success is part of the on-going ‘simplification agenda’ which was started way back in 2006. Is this simply a case of the Government ‘re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic’ or will it really help businesses like those of your clients?
Only time will tell and time is one thing that many businesses simply do not have. That is why we should put Lord Mandelson’s claims such as keeping Supporting Success “agile and responsive to business need and economic need” to the test.
