Cameron To Hand Empty Public Buildings To Business
The Prime Minister has announced plans to allow government offices formerly full of civil servants to be used by small businesses.
The initiative is part of a campaign aimed at "inspiring people to start or grow their own businesses", which has been called 'Business in You'.
Prime Minister David Cameron said: "Small businesses and entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of the British economy and I am determined that we, working with the private sector, do everything we can to help them to start up and to grow in 2012.
"I want to encourage people to go for it and make this the year of enterprise – whether that is fulfilling their dream of starting a new business or taking the leap to grow their business, to employ more staff, or to start exporting."
The campaign features a ‘Business in you’ web portal which will bring together the resources available to business owners and entrepreneurs to help them start or grow their business as well as inspire them with stories of how other people have "achieved success".
The Prime Minister also announced plans to make empty and under-used Government offices available to small businesses so that they can start up and grow.
