Federation of Small Businesses
As experts in business, we offer our members a wide range of vital business services including advice, financial expertise, support and a powerful voice in government. Our aim is to help smaller businesses achieve their ambitions.
The manifesto is put forward by FSB on behalf of the UK’s small business community. It sets out more than 30 steps the next Government should take to secure a pro-business Brexit, create a level playing field, cut the cost of doing business and improve our working lives, including:
-
Create small business export vouchers alongside export tax credits, to help small firms trade with new markets for the first time
-
Guarantee the rights of EU citizens to stay and work, including those that arrive right up to the point of UK leaving
-
Make the worst examples of supply chain bullying illegal - retrospective discounting, pay to stay clauses
-
Commit to co-fund apprenticeships in non-levy-paying businesses in England for the next parliament
-
Independent inquiry/Royal Commission to create new approach to business rates for 2022 based on ability to pay; to create a consensus and take politics out of the process
