Toolkit


This toolkit is designed for stakeholders, representative bodies and others who can help us communicate the changes to businesses.

It provides a collection of materials which you can use in your communications to tell businesses and others of the changes and where to go for information and advice. Further material will be added in the future as more announcements are made.

What's New?

Mark Prisk's interview with The Director magazine: Mentoring matters.

The PM launched on 23 January a new SME Campaign “Business in you” to inspire people to go for it and make this the “year of enterprise” – whether that is fulfilling their dream of starting a new business or taking the leap to grow their business, to employ more staff, or to start exporting .

The campaign page Business in you brings together and highlights the support available to businesses so they know where to get advice and help. It also showcases case studies of small firms who are thriving despite the prevailing economic conditions, and will guide small firms to the advice and support available to help them survive and grow – firms that seek advice are more likely to succeed.
