The future of Britain’s economy depends on Britain’s small businesses - on those with the courage to strike out and start their own thing, who work all hours to succeed, who through love, sweat and tears make their business grow.
These people are the embodiment of British pluck and enterprise, and we need you. We need you to keep on creating good private sector jobs, so that more people can earn a living for their families and have financial security for the future. We need you to help get Britain exporting more, because in this competitive world our success will lie in making things and selling them to the world. We need you to help rebalance our economy away from too much debt, borrowing and spending and towards private enterprise, dynamism, ideas and innovation.
That’s why I spoke today at the FSB’s first Policy Conference - and it’s why this government is pulling every lever possible to back small business.
