Backing Small Businesses to Grow:

Vince Cable has set out the practical steps Government is taking to help SMEs by boosting business investment and cutting red tape. This includes:

The £125 million Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative, which will open for applications from 29 March.
A new 'Focus on Enforcement' campaign to identify where inappropriate or excessive enforcement of regulation is holding companies back.
 
Dr. Cable said:
 
“This Government has an absolute commitment to clearing away the barriers that act as a brake on growth for British SMEs. That is why, for example, we are not just reviewing whether there is still a case for each regulation, but now we are going to tackle how regulations are actually enforced as well. That commitment to lighten the load lies at the heart of our strategy for achieving economic transformation and recovery.
 
“In addition the Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative will help build manufacturing capacity and ensure that more of the necessary components can be sourced in this country. We will support projects that deliver economic growth, greater competitiveness and safeguard or generate jobs.
 

“We will also increase the supply of capital through non-bank lending channels via our £100m SME focused Business Finance Partnership, targeting finance channels other than loan funds.”

Getting paid on time:

The Government and industry is calling on businesses and public organisations to pay suppliers on time and for small firms to pursue those who put them at risk by delaying.
 
Prompt payment is vital for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), with many firms not able to survive the cashflow problems that late payments create. 
 
A new guide for small businesses which contains tips and advice from both suppliers and customers, has today been published by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). It contains valuable lessons from small businesses such as advice on invoicing and developing a well-defined credit policy.
 
Advice and guidance for small businesses to help make sure they are paid on time and can seek redress if they are not part of the Finance Fitness Campaign, which sees government and businesses working together to help SMEs.
