Daniel urges local Businesses to seek Government help

During this economic downturn, Daniel has been inundated with local businesses who are struggling to keep their businesses running as credit dries up and consumer spending becomes more stringent.

Daniel commented, "I am hearing from many businesses in Shrewsbury everyday that are telling me of the dire situation they are currently facing".

Small and medium sized businesses are often the worst hit by the recession, with many of them forced to cease trading every day. Daniel has been working closely with the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce throughout this time, advising them of the difficulties that Shropshire businesses have approached him with, but also being told of the help and advice that is being made available to them.

The Chamber of Commerce are currently distributing information recently released by the Government in the form of a summary of the help available for business. Government help that is available to small businesses can be found by visiting www.businesslink.gov.uk/realhelp or by calling 08450 600 9 006.

Daniel went on to say, "I will be constantly asking the Government and the Secretaries of State for Business and Work and Pensions about what improvements they have in the help they are offering to small businesses like the ones in my Constituency, as currently the help they are offering is simply not enough. I would urge anyone that has a business in Shrewsbury or in the wider Shropshire area to exhaust every avenue of the limited government help is available to them."
