StartupBritain backs British business

With 270,000 new businesses launching in the U.K. every year, it's no surprise that the government are looking to back new British business. Earlier this week, Prime Minister David Cameron announced the new StartupBritain initiative - cleverly named after the U.S.'s StartupAmerica - an entrepreneur-led initiative that has been backed by 60 top brands.

The idea is to help new businesses by providing package deals and discounts to new businesses for things like broadband and insurance. I am still hesitant as to what help this will provide, but it will be good to see what the government comes up with.
