Enterprise: unlocking the UK's talent
The Enterprise Strategy sets out how the Government will encourage further business start up and growth. Focusing on small and medium sized businesses the strategy outlines a new framework for Government action and details five enablers of Enterprise (Culture, Knowledge and Skills, Finance, Innovation and Regulatory framework). Highlights include:
- Improving access to finance for SME's
- A consultation on the introduction of regulatory budgets, which would cap the new annually recurring cost of regulation for business, including whether to pilot this approach on SME's or a particular sector;
- Increased focus in minimising the impact of regulation on SME's
- Independent review of regulatory guidance
- Further development of enterprise education on secondary schools and extension of it, where possible, into primary and further education (underpinned by a £210 million funding package, as agreed at the 2007 CSR); and
- Establishment of a National Enterprise Academy (NEA)
