Building an Enterprising Society

Enterprise is central to the Government's approach to economic policy and to rebuilding communities.

The Government is outlining the steps we need to take to ensure that the UK realises its full entrepreneurial potential, by:

  • building a more enterprising society, in which all who have the initiative, skills and drive also have the opportunity to start and run a successful business
  • creating the best environment in the world to start and grow a business
  • tackling specific barriers that inhibit successful enterprise; and
  • raising levels of enterprise in the UK's least prosperous communities, where these barriers are typically greatest.
