The UK will recover from the recession but it may take a long time and early stage businesses – who create most of the new jobs in the economy – will be a big part of the recovery.
Government policy is now based on the private sector creating more businesses with much less government spending. I am delighted however that investment in early stage businesses from business angel investors is still supported by generous tax relief.
We have had a number of people asking how they can get involved in this focus on early stage businesses.
The answer is there are already huge opportunities: helping companies write cogent business plans, supporting entrepreneurs through the investment process, filling a skill gap in a start-up or growing business to name a few.
One big requirement will be for experienced managers from larger businesses who can bring their expertise to help a small company grow. These people are likely to be the critical resource in this sector.
