The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has welcomed the small business policy review recently announced the government.
This week, the first of a series of 14 consultation events takes place to plot a new enterprise framework for the UK and encourage company formation.
Chancellor Alistair Darling, secretary of state for Business John Hutton and competitiveness minister Stephen Timms will consult 20 leading entrepreneurs about what the government can do to alter company legislation and assist the growth of firms in the UK.
David Frost, director general of the BCC, commented: "Small firms contribute so much to our economy, but are everyday having to contend with a range of barriers.
"From the difficulties in finding skilled employees to the challenges of an overburdened transport infrastructure, the needs of business extend far and wide."
He continued: "Enterprise in the UK will only thrive if its needs are at the heart of every department - and we look forward to working with the government to make this a reality."
Mr Hutton emphasised: "Britain has seen a significant increase in the numbers of small businesses in the last four years.
"We must now build on this success and ensure these small enterprises grow and take advantage of the new global markets.
"Thats why I have asked some of Britains most successful business people to tell us what barriers they faced and give us their ideas on what more government can do to ensure we make the most of the entrepreneurship of the British people."
