Conservatives to Give More Help for Small Businesses

 

David Cameron has announced three new policies which a Conservative Government would implement to help more small businesses start up in the UK.
 
  1. Cut the time it takes to start a new business in the UK. It takes twice as long to start a business in the UK as in the USA, Denmark or Hong Kong. The Conservatives will reduce the number of forms needed to register a new company, and move towards a ‘one-click’ registration model.
 
  1. Help the poorest households start up. We would remove outdated restrictions on people in social housing from starting up a business. We would seek to prevent local councils and housing associations from including clauses in tenancy agreements that stop social tenants from reasonably running a business at home.
 
This policy will apply to new social tenancy agreements, and social landlords will be encouraged to amend existing tenancy agreements. The conditions concerning noise and nuisance will remain firmly in place.
 
  1. End Labour’s practice of pushing thousands of businesses into bankruptcy over small amounts of unpaid taxes, to make life easier for entrepreneurs and save jobs. This will be achieved by increasing the statutory threshold over which the Government can petition to make a business insolvent.
 
Edward Garnier, MP for Harborough, Oadby and Wigston said this afternoon: “These changes come on top of our plans to reduce small company corporation tax rates to 20p; make small business rates relief automatic in England, saving up to £1,100 per annum; and abolish tax on the jobs created by new businesses in the first two years of a Conservative Government.” ENDS
