Rejected petition Reduce red tape for small businesses with a turnover less than £100k

Encourage small business, don’t break their backs!
More details
Health and safety, maternity pay, paternity pay, pensions not to mention the risk of being sued for minor infringements of laws you never knew about. It has to stop. Small business Owners invest large amounts of their own money, Work long hours and boost the economy but their are little incentives to help them, just more and more rules and regulations.
