Country’s entrepreneurs are recognised
|
A pressure group that aims to promote the interests of small businesses in the UK has launched a campaign designed to celebrate the country's entrepreneurs.
The Federation of Small Business has said it wants to celebrate "real life entrepreneurs" who take the risk of following an idea, start up on their own and work to grow a business. Starting next Monday, a roadshow will visit various locations across England to provide advice and networking support to independent workers.
As part of the events, serial entrepreneur and regular Financial Times Columnist Mike Southon will speak about the main themes of the FSB's manifesto. Key areas include reducing and simplifying tax issues faced by small businesses, taking a new approach to regulation, and opening up export markets.
FSB Chairman John Walker wants to see an "atmosphere of entrepreneurship" created in the UK, allowing anyone with a good idea to potentially set up and run their own business.
He said: "In short, turning a good idea into a business is one of the most positive acts an individual can perform for themselves and the community in which they live."
Earlier this month, David Cameron praised the courage of people who "turn their back on the security of a regular wage", and look to succeed on their own by starting a company. The prime minister said he believed the UK was "fizzing with business potential".
Giving a speech recently in central London, on responsible capitalism, the Prime Minister criticised the former Labour government for making a "Faustian pact" with the City, and said it was now time to ensure that the market was fair as well as free.
Mr. Cameron said that more than anything he admired "the bravery of those who turn their back on the security of a regular wage to follow their dreams and start a company", adding that he believed the UK was "fizzing with business potential".
He said: "When people take risks, with their own ideas, energy and money, when they succeed in a competitive market where anyone can come and knock them off their perch at any time, we should celebrate entrepreneurs who get rich in that way."
Figures released yesterday by the Office for National Statistics revealed an increase in the number of people prepared to start their own business and become entrepreneurs. In excess of 100,000 people registered as independent workers in the three months to November 2011, taking the total number of self-employed workers in the UK to 4.2 million. |
