I have one further question on the issue of communication. Not enough businesses know about all the schemes or which scheme would suit them. The lack of communication on schemes always seems to be a problem whether we are talking about business or anything else. The Government needs to get a one-stop shop online so that businesses can access information on all of the services they can avail of. I believe this is coming soon. How do business representative groups like those here fare in regard to getting information out to the various businesses, particularly information on crowd funding or linked finance? These non-traditional types of funding are taking off in other countries and are beginning to sow seeds here.
