Entrepreneurs back Business Link’s demise
Two thirds of small business owners support the government’s decision to scrap the regional elements of advisory service Business Link, a poll by BusinessZone.co.uk reveals.
According to the survey of 516 entrepreneurs, 61% said the axing of the system to support SMEs in England is a good decision compared to 39% who believed it is a bad move.
Comments posted in response to the study included: ”Business Link was run in a misguided way by people who didn’t know what they were doing. They were all about looking like they were doing the right thing, rather than actually doing something useful.”
Another business owner said: ” I tendered for a web development project, with search ranking added and they made a complete hash of it. RIP Business Link; gone but happily forgotten.”
