Government ‘could do more’ to support SMEs

New research has again found wide-scale dissatisfaction with the Government’s support of small businesses as political parties continue to argue the merits of their business policies ahead of the upcoming election.

More than 60% of small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) feel the Government isn’t doing enough to support their business.

Business representative groups have called for changes to be made to a number of areas including share options, capital gains tax, and access to funding.
