Small Business: GREAT ambition builds on work to support budding entrepreneurs to start up a business and focuses on small businesses who are ready to scale up their business. It sits alongside our Industrial Strategy, giving clarity on and confidence in the government’s approach to support small business growth.

The launch of ‘Small business: GREAT ambition’ is part of a wider programme of activity to promote the support available for small businesses and includes the Business is GREAT Britain campaign.

‘Small Business: GREAT Ambition’ is supported by the analysis paper, SMEs: enablers of success and economic rationale for government intervention’, which brings together the evidence on SMEs and provides the economic and analytical backdrop to the interventions proposed.
