UKIP MEP for Wales and AM for North Wales, Nathan Gill, is calling for a business revolution.
Small and medium size businesses are the backbone of the British economy and now that the people have freed themselves from the shackles of Brussels itâs time to invigorate business and encourage entrepreneurs around the country.
Â
Itâs time to support the small businesses, the entrepreneurs, the techies, the roof tillers, the retailers, the plumbers, the builders and any other small or medium size business.
Â
Often business rates can be prohibitively high. Small businesses struggle to get finance to set up or expand their businesses. Excessive regulation adds to the huge administrative and financial burdens to the challenges already faced by small businesses.Â
Â
The Federation of Small Business says 61% of small companies cite âregulatory burdenâ as a significant factor when closing or downsizing. Now that the UK has voted to leave the EU, we can free British companies from excessive over-regulation and interference from Brussels.
Â
By ending the culture of red tape and by repealing EU regulations and directives, we can start a small and medium size business revolution and make British businesses competitive again in a global market.Â
Â
Itâs also important to encourage local trade, therefore Iâm calling for every local authority to offer at least 30 minutes free parking in town centres, high streets and shopping parades; to encourage shoppers into town centres and boost local business.
Â
Itâs time we believe in Britainâs small business, in its entrepreneurs, in its team of sole traders, freelancers and self-starters and back them whenever and however we can and use the control that we are regaining from the EU to create a business revolution to get Britain working again.
