Small businesses in the UK have a real need for extra support, particularly when starting out. Recent figures show that a quarter of entrepreneurs believe they didn’t get the support they needed when they began their businesses.
It’s clear some business owners are hoping for a bigger push from those in power with three quarters of British entrepreneurs stating they feel the Government could do more to help the day-to-day running of their business. A mere 7% felt the Government were doing all they could, hinting that many feel let down by the current resources available to start-up their operations.
In this podcast, Mick Hegarty, director, BT Business, and John Dunsmure, Managing Director of the British Chamber of Commerce, look at the concerns for UK small businesses.
