Reducing the regulatory burden on business is a priority for us. That is why we are working with local businesses and Cornwall Council to improve regulation and show how working with regulators can save businesses time and money, improve competitiveness and help them grow.

Better Business for All will make it quicker and easier for businesses to comply with the law and will ensure that regulatory staff better understand how businesses operate and the pressures they face. It will also encourage more businesses in Cornwall to seek advice from regulators without fear of enforcement activity.

To help develop the programme and shape the future of regulation, businesses across Cornwall are being urged to share their experiences of regulation through a short questionnaire.

The questionnaire will be live until 10 August 2014.
