UK Training Industry Press Releases

Firms are being urged to start the New Year with a "business MOT" to ensure they're in good shape to ride out the current economic downturn.

More than 10,000 companies in England have already undergone a Business Health Check since the service, which provides free personalised support and confidential advice, was launched in October.

Each check, provided by the Government's Business Link service, ensures that firms are maximising their cash flow, marketing and business planning during the current economic climate.

Qualified Business Link experts help firms draw up tailor made action plans designed to ensure that companies are able to cope with the effects of the economic downturn. Business Link also provides a follow-up monitoring service for companies to ensure that the plan is working for them.
