Our goal is simple: to make Britain the easiest and best place in the world to set up and grow a business.
Under Labour, business has become increasingly burdened by corporate taxes, red tape and the lack of enterprise leadership in government. As a result, our ability to compete on a global scale has been threatened.
A Conservative Government will ensure Britain remains one of the most competitive economies in which to do business by:
-
Cutting corporation tax and reducing the burden of regulation to give business more freedom and greater flexibility
-
Simplifying employment law to make it easier to hire people
-
Overhauling the confusing business support schemes to give young businesses better advice and information
-
Reforming the Regional Development Agencies to create a vibrant, business-focused force
-
Strengthening UK Trade and Investment to give British business a powerful voice abroad
We recognise the huge contribution business makes to society – and that’s why we want the modern Conservative Party to be not just the party of business but the party of responsible business.
By ensuring government and business work together, rather than micro-managing from the top down, we will achieve far more for British society than Labour have ever done.
