The North-east head of the FSB says his organisation’s pre-General Election campaign is a ‘unique opportunity’ for would-be parliamentary candidates to talk directly with the region’s small business owners.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has launched #ibacksmallbusiness following ‘months of direct engagement with real small businesses.’
Putting prospective politicians in direct contact with small businesses on social media, the #ibacksmallbusiness campaign forms the centrepiece of the FSB’s work in advance of the 2015 General Election.
The backbone of the campaign is the FSB’s Business Manifesto; five key areas that the FSB claims needs to be addressed by any aspiring Government including a sustained economic recovery and lowering costs of doing business.
A dedicated website - http://ift.tt/1tZx5gH - is for content sharing on various social media platforms, to ‘enable prospective Parliamentary Candidates to see and hear the challenges facing small businesses in the specific constituencies they wish to serve.’
North East Regional Chair, Ted Salmon, said: “Our business manifesto plainly outlines what the next Government needs to do to support entrepreneurs seeking to start a new business or grow an existing firm. Over the coming months, we expect candidates claiming to support small firms to get behind the #ibacksmallbusiness campaign.”
