'Too much red tape for NI family businesses'
25/04/2008
Some seven in ten of Northern Ireland's family business owners want the government to reduce red tape and tax burdens on their firms, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
The Derry Journal reports that 58 per cent of local family businesses want the government to offer grants to encourage development in exporting.
PwC said that only 52 per cent of local family firms experienced increased profitability.
Director and family business specialist at PwC in Derry Gerard Finnegan told the Derry Journal that "growing family businesses and increasing their international competitiveness must be a priority for Invest Northern Ireland and DETI as they finalise their respective strategies for 2008-2011".
Solicitors in Northern Ireland can offer advice to people looking to reduce their tax burden.
According to the Belfast Telegraph Top 100 Companies list, "business is booming" in the province and profits last year rose by an average of 15 per cent for larger companies in the area.
Local economist John Simpson told the Belfast Telegraph that most firms will maintain "the present buoyant level of business" in 2008.
