“Enterprise: Unlocking the UK’s Talent” is a ten-year strategy aimed at making the UK the most enterprising economy in the world - and the best place to start and grow a business.
It is designed to unlock the nation's entrepreneurial talents; boost enterprise skills and knowledge; help new and existing business get funding to start up and grow; and ease the burden of regulation, particularly on small firms which feel its impacts most.
Specific proposals include:
-
Consultation on a world-first system of regulatory budgets for Government departments that would measure the costs of any new regulation introduced over a given period
-
A National Enterprise Academy, in partnership with entrepreneur Peter Jones, offering skills training and qualifications to 16 to 19 year olds; tailored support for young entrepreneurs, the over 50s and women;
-
A set of detailed measures promoting business to business mentoring, work placements, skills training, improved careers advice on self-employment and access to business support and to finance for growth.
For full details of all the proposals, plus an executive summary of “Enterprise: Unlocking the UK’s Talent” and the full document, please visit the BERR website.
