SFA hails Budget 2007 as good news for small business

The Small Firms Association has broadly welcomed today’s Budget and its specific measures to support small business.

SFA chairman Pat Crotty said: “The extension of both the Business Expansion Scheme and the Seed Capital Scheme to 2013, and the increase in the individual investment ceiling to €150,000 and €100,000 respectively, will increase their attractiveness to potential investors and encourage more people to set up their own business.”
