Abstract
One of the fundamental issues in the landscape of UK small business policy is the unevenness in the take-up of support and advice by businesses, particularly by Ethnic Minority Businesses who have tended to rely instead on self-help and informal sources of assistance. This paper seeks to contribute to the development of policy designed to reach the businesses that have traditionally been under-represented in the client base of mainstream business support agencies. The paper will present new evidence on a model of business support which builds upon the activities of existing, community-based organizations and utilizes them as a vehicle to reach minority groups of business owners.
