News: Solutions for business in Rotherham

The Department for Business has announced that the design and rollout of Solutions for Business, its streamlined portfolio of business support products, has completed with over 3,000 schemes reduced to 30. For the first time all government help for business now shares an easily identifiable banner and can be accessed through Business Link. From March 2010 these will be the only products businesses will see. Minister for Business, Ian Pearson said: "To succeed in a competitive global environment UK businesses need ongoing access to help and support. The Solutions for Business portfolio makes it simpler for businesses to access the support they need. This is an important tool to help companies through the current global economic downturn, and also for providing a long term, sustainable, support to business." Chair of the Solutions for Business Transition Management Board and Chairman of the Engineering Employers Federation Martin Temple said: "For far too long, help which has been available to business has not been taken up because it has been too complex, confusing to understand and hard to find quickly and easily. This programme will simplify access, make clear what is available and improve the quality in order to match business needs. The benefits of the new system will soon become apparent."
