"In the election, they are looking for candidates who really understand the issues they are facing and have strong, bold strategies that support growth, create jobs and build a brighter, economic future."
Emma Jones, CBE, founder and CEO of Enterprise Nation said, "The start-up and small business community represents a significant and influential constituency for the next government, so it's important they get the opportunity to hear directly from the parties on how they will deal with the matters they care about.
Iain Wright, ICAEW managing director, reputation and influence said, "Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy , and this event – with its focus on enterprise and growth – will give a good indicator of how the small business community is feeling about their current and future prospects and the priorities they want MPs to have in the next Parliament.
"Our members run or advise small businesses, from the first spark of an idea, nurturing growth and supporting professionalisation to gain investment and scale, but frequently tell us that starting to trade is not as easy as it should be, and that vital finance doesn't always flow where needed.
"To ensure the UK is the best place to start, run and grow a business, the next government needs to build an economy that is productive, sustainable and resilient at its core. A more competitive tax system, greater investment in skills and investment and more proportionate and better targeted regulation should help to provide that platform for success."
