Solutions for Business

In the 2006 Budget, the Government announced Business Support Simplification Programme (BSSP) to streamline the system of around 3,000 business support schemes to 100 or less by 2010. The result of this process will be a simplified, cost effective and better targeted portfolio of business support products that is better accessed and understood by business.

In simple terms, it sets out to make it easier for businesses and entrepreneurs to understand and access the support available.
