Encouraging enterprise and innovation

I notice that people can now get a tax rebate if they invest in a business. However this only applies if they own less than 30% of the business.

This excludes the vast majority of people who decide to risk all and start something new.

If they are willing to risk their money, their home and their family in trying to start a business which will pay tax and help the rest of them, it seems unfair not to give them a rebate.

Most 1, 2 or 3 person startups fall outside these rules. But this is how many of the 4 million small businesses in the uk started, and many of the larger companies too.

So encouraging these startups to take risks is the quickest way in increase innovation and business creation in the uk.
