SME4Labour and Renaissance fringe: HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT'S SMALL BUSINESS STRATEGY HELP DELIVER LOCAL GROWTH?

Small-and-medium businesses stand ready to help deliver the Chancellor’s growth mission, but need more support to scale-up. A new report - Leveling the Playing Field - sets out what dozens of smaller businesses tell us they need from the government, and how the Small Business Strategy might unlock their potential. Join us to have your say.
