An Enterprise special
Small business is now seen as having a crucial role in trying to reduce Britain's dole queues - the evidence is in the wide range of government help now available to anyone thinking of starting up on their own. But life is still not all that straightforward for the would-be entrepreneur. In the first half of the programme, Marjorie Lofthouse talks to some of the people who can help: ... a bank manager, a credit factor venture capitalist, a VAT expert and a consultant in time management. For the second part, she is joined in the studio for a live phone-in with Employment Minister Lord
Young; Roy Madron , himself a small businessman; and Alan Jones of the National
Westminster Bank, who will answer callers' questions. Ring [number removed]
