THE BIG ISSUE FOR SMALL BUSINESS.....

....IS PROMPT PAYMENT OF MONEY DUE.

Notwithstanding all the fine words from Government about prompt payment - never mind loans - to small business from large public agencies, this remains - along with slow payment by large private sector companies (and particularly those formerly in public ownership) - The Number 1 problem for smaller businesses and the self-employed.

It's just a shame that this issue doesn't receive the same media attention as MPs expenses. Could it be that media organisations are also slow to pay freelancers etc and don't want to draw attention to an issue which might embarrass them : much like MPs and their expenses, in fact.
