@Johnkehoe23 The existing program is better than you make it sound. The 2015 changes incuded a provision that startup options are taxed on capital account (not income). So an empoyee is not taxed until they realise a gain and then taxed at 1/2 the marginal rate...the review is good though.
Our recent SME survey shows Small Business owner's remaining upbeat about their businesses and the general economy, despite election uncertainty. Also good to see almost half expect to take advantage of Instant Asset Write Off.

With all the focus on the Federal Budget this didn't get much attention, but the $2b Australian Business Securitsation Fund Bill passed in parliament today. This will give small business better access to capital.
