Petition Ageism more help for the over 25's

More details

Why if trying to start your own business are there no grants etc. offered to people over the age
of 25 ie 50.They have more life experience are more likely to succeed but are not given the chance because the government are only giving the help to the under 25's.
Does this say to you (or is it just me) by giving money to the under 25's and pushing them into business that are sometimes over manned and unnecessary, are they trying to reduce the unemployment figures, all be it for a while due to lack of work in these areas no fault of the people (under 25's) building these business.how many painters, decorators, plasterers, electricians, plumbers and handymen are there already.

The government need to have a more mature outlook and give help to the older person when they are trying to start up in business.
