The Government has introduced a comprehensive set of measures to encourage investment in start-up and technology businesses.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Tax-advantaged venture capital schemes provide generous tax reliefs to encourage private investment. The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) introduced in 2012 and made permanent at Budget 2014 has helped over 2,000 companies raise in excess of £175m in investment.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The British Business Bank has a range of schemes to support investment in smaller companies with growth potential. The Business Angel Co-Fund has facilitated over £100m of investment in 50 high-growth companies since 2010.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Innovate UK provides support for innovative small and medium sized enterprises. Its Smart funding programme offers grants of up to £250,000 for ambitious high growth smaller businesses in technology, science or engineering industries for research and development projects.<\/p>

The Treasury continually monitors global economic developments, including those in Europe and Japan, and their impact on the UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK is one of the most open economies in the world through trade and financial channels, so we are not immune from global developments. Despite the effects of these developments, the UK was the fastest growing major advanced economy (G7) in the first half of the year, the deficit is falling and there are record levels of people in work.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

As the Chancellor said last month: \u201cWe need to send a clear message out around the world that we have a stable economy, that our economic plan is working, and that we\u2019re not going to deviate from that economic plan, so that people around the world know that while Britain is not immune from what is going on in the world we can take steps to protect ourselves.\u201d<\/p>

Charities play an important role in our society, enabling people to play an active role in their community. This is why the Government supports charities through a range of reliefs and exemptions worth over £4 billion a year. However, the Government recognises that decisions about what financial products are offered to specific businesses remain commercial decisions for banks and building societies.<\/p>
