THE Government's Small Business Service has launched a three-year strategy aimed at encouraging entrepreneurs. It includes a programme to ensure all pupils have experience of enterprise by the time they leave school.
Other aims include an enhanced strategic role for the service, boosting the profile of Business Link and ensuring a better regulatory environment for small firms.
The strategy, "Small Business and Government -- The Way Forward", is designed to encourage more people to have the ambition of starting their own business, and give anyone who takes that step every chance to succeed.
Martin Wyn Griffith, SBS chief executive, said: "We are fine-tuning the way we work to ensure a better engagement with the small business community."
The strategy includes helping young people gain an understanding of entrepreneurship through influencing them at school.
There will also be emphasis on improving access to finance.
