The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has published its ‘manifesto’, highlighting what SMEs would like to see from the party that wins power at the general election next month, including incentives to employ apprentices, schemes to support those with long-term conditions back into work, and a cap on visa costs for the smallest of employers.
It found that 90% of small business owners are concerned that business taxes could rise under the next government, while 92% were worried that whoever gains power would increase the costs and risks associated with employing people.
