When economies need to grow from a low point it's not the big corporations and multinationals and public sector bodies that drive growth. It's the small businesses that start-up when they see opportunities in the market and 'give it a go'.
One of the difficulties in the UK at least is the business rates that businesses have to pay. These are very often two or three times the rents that businesses have to pay and quite simply make it uneconomical for many businesses to even start off in the first place.
If governments were serious about creating an environment that was conducive to start-ups wouldn't it make sense to help them get going? Pity such common sense measures seem to be beyond the comprehension of politicians and government officials.
