OUR OPINION

IGNITING BUSINESS IS AT LAST AT THE HEART OF THE POLITICAL BATTLEGROUND

It's good to see Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg all championing the stimulation of business as a key element in their respective economic recovery strategies.

With more than half of the UK's working population employed by small and medium sized enterprises, it's clear that supporting trade in this sector is a vital building block.

inanutshell.biz is at the centre of the SME community, and we applaud all the parties for their attitude.

What remains to be seen of course, is how all this political maneouvring translates into real hard benefits for our heavily pressured sector. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating.

Bon appetit!
