In a speech to business leaders yesterday, Jacinda Ardern outlined extending the Small Business Loan Scheme as the one of the Government's priorities for the rest of the year.
Business New Zealand chief executive Kirk Hope says while that's reassuring, it is however a loan.
He says what was more reassuring is that the Government would consider how small businesses can access more capital through the Venture Investment Fund.
Meanwhile, Hope says the Government should factor any increase in sick leave, into an ACC-style system.
