In this manifesto we put forward policy proposals to help improve the business climate in which
small firms operate. Some of these are proposals which will help smaller businesses throughout
the UK, such as by making tax simpler and reducing barriers to increasing employment. Others are
reflective of the need for immediate action in the absence of devolved government at Stormont: to
improve infrastructure; help with skills challenges; and to assist smaller businesses with changes to
trading arrangements resulting from Brexit.
