The Government recognises the impact rising prices are having on businesses.<\/p>

<\/p>

Businesses in Batley and Spen will have benefitted from the Government\u2019s reversal of the National Insurance rise, saving SMEs approximately £4,200 on average, cut to fuel duty for 12 months, raising the Employment Allowance to £5,000 and the Energy Bill Relief Scheme, to protect SMEs from high energy costs over the winter. In addition, at the Autumn Statement, my Rt Hon Friend Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer announced £13.6 billion of support for businesses over the next five years, reducing the burden of business rates for SMEs.<\/p>

<\/p>

Support is also available to SMEs across the UK through the Start Up loan scheme which has provided 148 SMEs in Batley and Spen loans to the value of £1,477,438 as of October 2022.<\/p>

The UK is a leading centre for green finance, with London having been ranked first in the world for a third year, according to the Global Green Finance Index.
