New Businesses (5 March 2026)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to support entrepreneurs.

Asked by:
Sally Jameson (Labour)

Answer

We are committed to delivering the measures outlined in the Small Business Plan including removing barriers to entrepreneurs, through the most significant package of legislative reforms in 25 years to tackle late payments.

My department also supports entrepreneurs with funding and mentoring through the British Business Bank’s Start-up Loans and our newly launched Business Growth Service.

We will continue to support entrepreneurs at every stage such as those in Doncaster through our Growth Hubs, I believe my honourable friend’s local Hub is Business Doncaster.
