ye for the 12 marker i wrote price may not be important and promotion may be important to help with promoting the use of like green energy and stuff like that but u know for the 9 marker about how the uk government help small business and the 2 options were reduce tax or free training what did u put?

I can't remember exactly but I went for the lower tax and I argued that this would increase their retained profit and therefore the business would be able to invest in more wind farms (i.e. expand their business) thus allowing them to better able meet customer demand (something along those lines).

omggg sameee i wrote that tooo and for a disadvantage i waffled and put that the government would receive less income cus of less tax which can cause an increase in inflation so prices are high which can put people off from investing i dont even know if that makes sense

I think it would have been better if u said that due to decreased tax, then it leads to an increase in customer spending (as they have a higher disposable income) which leads to increased inflation.
