00:00Well business rates are a bit of a killer and so that that would be helpful to have some

00:04more for smaller businesses more sort of um leeway on that um and uh obviously they've

00:12increased national insurance and stuff for the small businesses which does affect us a little bit

00:17um so yeah things like that would be a bit of a help. For us independent like self-employed

00:23individuals um there's not a lot of help out there um we could maybe look at national insurance

00:30contributions or taxes but again I think it's going to be a long way before we see a little change.

00:37National insurance contributions for employers going up it's just another burden for businesses

00:42to have to take and to improve the economy and get people spending. Surely they want to help

00:48local business rather than throttle it so to me it would be more a case of putting less burden

00:54on the small businesses hopefully in turn getting more people to have disposable income and get out.
