“A few little things that would make a big difference:

• Companies house website with longer opening hours• Increased information in the public domain for businesses• Free credit checks online - not via paper forms/faxes with Business Link• Free access to bulk TPS checks without having to pay a huge corporate license• Train2gain funding for real courses such as ACS not just for customer service, supervisory and management, and other NVQs”
