The
Source Testing Association (STA) established the Small Business Task Group to provide a forum and a resource to meet the needs of Small Businesses. Small Businesses often face challenges as they may not have the support structures or resources of large companies to address them. Take for instance in the recent Pandemic and the need for Self Employed people to apply for the
Self-Employment Income Support Scheme. The STA small Business task Group was there to help and give valuable advice to its members.
The Group also has a watching brief on all the activities of the Source Testing Association and attempts to bring the needs of small businesses to the forefront of discussions. There are no formal meetings for the Group as such as most Small Business people are under pressure and the self-employed cannot always afford the time to attend meetings, however the Group Manager Roger Brown can be contacted anytime through the STA website.
