Birth of a salesman
Article Abstract:
The UK is proving relatively successful in encouraging entrepreneurship compared with many countries in mainland Europe, according to 'Fostering Entrepreneurship,' a study from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The legal process for creating a new business is quite straightforward, and the UK's tax system is also relatively favourable. However, small businesses still face considerable administrative pressures, and there is a lack of government financial support.

The bottom line
Article Abstract:
It is common for small businesses in the UK to begin to encounter problems in dealing with technology as they grow larger. In many cases, they cannot afford to employ anybody to support the new technology that is supporting their growth, and they may eventually be forced to use external experts. However, it is important to be aware that new technology can be very valuable for small companies, ensuring that they work more effectively and allowing them to reduce overheads.
