Government Must Raise Its Game to Help Firms
01 Feb 2006
The Government's business support network is failing to provide consistently high quality help and advice to new and growing firms, according to a report by the CBI released last month.
They face a baffling array of conflicting, confusing and inconsistent quangoes, grants and agencies across the UK - funded by a Government budget of £8bn a year - including at least 2,650 schemes in England alone.
Throughout 2005 and 2006, the CBI is publishing a series of reports, 'Enabling the Enterprise Revolution', looking at whether progress has been made, and how to achieve government targets.
