PRIME MINISTER


A few weeks ago I said that this government's strategy for growth was to roll up our sleeves and do everything possible to make it easier for people to start and grow a business. Last week in the Budget, that's exactly what we did - cutting corporation tax, boosting venture capital and angel investment, announcing radical plans for deregulation and more.

So this pro-enterprise government is a pro-active government - but we also understand that there's only so much government can do on its own. That's why today I supported the launch of a new campaign - StartUp Britain - led by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. They've pulled together some amazing offers to encourage more people to strike out and start up. From advice on legal issues to creating business cards, these offers are worth around £1500 to every single start-up - and you can check them out here.

But of course none of this means anything unless people actually take these opportunities and start their own business. There are thousands of people out there who are entrepreneurs but they just don't know it yet. You could be one of them. So this is my message today: if you've been turning over a good idea for years - now is the time to go for it. Check out the support offered by the Government. Check out the offers from StartUp Britain. Seize this moment, make the most of these opportunities - and make it happen.
