SIMPLIFICATION OF BUSINESS SUPPORT MUST FINALLY MEET THE NEED OF BUSINESS

21/06/07 | 16:07

David Frost, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:

"It's about time that business support finally does what it says and supports business. For that reason we welcome this consultation and efforts to simplify the mass of products and services that currently make up over £2.6 billion worth of business support. What we now need to see is practical, workable solutions that deliver for business by being easy to access, simple to understand and meet businesses' needs."
