It has been reported today that representatives of 5,000 small businesses have signed a letter calling for the Conservatives to be “given the chance to finish what they started”.
David Cameron plans to invest in broadband and treble start-up loans, however Labour have said the Tories “let down” small firms by failing to boost finance.
In a comment, business spokesman Chuka Umunna, said the government had overseen an increase in business rates of around £1,500 and Labour would cut - then freeze - the rates.
It has claimed that small businesses have been creating 1,000 jobs a day and the letter adds "We would like to see David Cameron and George Osborne given the chance to finish what they have started."
David Cameron said: "We know it's the people who take risks, start out on their own, wake up at the crack of dawn to open up their shop and do their books on the kitchen table at midnight who create jobs," he's expected to say.
"We are the party of the grafters and the roofers and the retailers and the plumbers. We get them, we respect them, we understand them, we back them."
