                                    Lansiodd y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen Micro\-Fusnesau a sefydlais ym mis Medi 2011 o dan Gadeiryddiaeth Robert Lloyd\-Griffiths, Cyfarwyddwr Cymru, Sefydliad y Cyfarwyddwyr, eu hadroddiad ar 18 Ionawr 2012\.  

 Mae’r adroddiad yn nodi pump o brif flaenoriaethau, sef ymwybyddiaeth o wasanaethau cymorth busnes ar gyfer micro\-fusnesau a chael gafael ar y cymorth hwnnw, mynediad at gyllid, mentora a hyfforddiant, caffael yn y sector cyhoeddus a’r baich rheoleiddiol.  

 Yn y ddadl ar ficro\-fusnesau ar 31 Ionawr, addewais roi gwybodaeth i’r Aelodau ar y cynigion gweithredu. Rwyf bellach wedi ystyried pob un o’r argymhellion sy’n sail i’r blaenoriaethau o fewn fy mhortffolio ac yn hapus i’w derbyn. Mae cynllun gweithredu llawn wedi’i baratoi ac yn cael ei roi ar waith.

 Dyma rai o’r camau rwyf am eu cymryd ar unwaith:

 • Datblygu, diffinio a phrofi cynigion y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen Micro\-Fusnesau ar greu brand cymorth busnes clir;  
• Hyrwyddo a chodi ymwybyddiaeth o gymorth busnes i ficro\-fusnesau a’i gwneud yn haws cael gafael arno;  
• Rhoi blaenoriaeth i’w gwneud yn haws cael gafael ar gyllid, er enghraifft cronfa twf mentrau bach a chanolig a fydd yn agored i geisiadau erbyn diwedd Mawrth. Mae'r Adran hefyd mewn uwch drafodaethau gyda Cyllid Cymru ar sefydlu cronfa gwerth £6m yn benodol ar gyfer busnesau micro;  
• Datblygu gwaith lobïo gan Lywodraeth Cymru ar y baich rheoleiddiol nad yw wedi’i ddatganoli sy’n effeithio ar fusnes Cymru;  
• Ymgysylltu â rhanddeiliaid i sicrhau bod yr hyn a gynigir yn ateb y gofynion;  
• Ymchwilio i arferion gorau ledled y byd, er enghraifft, model mentora Seland Newydd;  
• Comisiynu adolygiad i ystyried lleihau nifer y cynhyrchion a’r darparwyr cymorth busnes a gyllidir gan y sector cyhoeddus.

 Yn y tymor byr i’r tymor canolig, caiff y camau canlynol eu gweithredu:  
• Sefydlu rhwydwaith o Siopau Un Stop ledled Cymru i roi cymorth uniongyrchol ac anuniongyrchol i fusnesau drwy ehangu ac ailgyfeirio’r Gwasanaeth Canolfannau Rhanbarthol. Caiff hyn ei dreialu o fis Ebrill a chaiff ei gyflwyno’n llawn erbyn Ionawr 2013;  
• Ochr yn ochr â’r Siopau Un Stop, ac efallai fel rhan ohonynt:  
\- Sefydlu cynllun mentora a hyfforddi i Gymru gyfan;  
\- Opsiynau cyllid priodol gan gynnwys cyllid hyd at £20,000;  
\- Cymorth i leihau effaith rheoleiddio ar fusnesau, gan gydweithio â’r Swyddfa Gwell Rheoleiddio Leol;  
\- Cymorth masnach ac allforio rhyngwladol;  
• Cyfathrebu â rhanddeiliaid a dechrau defnyddio’r brand cymorth busnes;  
• Lobïo dros newid a chymryd camau pendant i leihau rheoleiddio ee Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen yr Adolygiad o Ardrethi Busnes a Herio Biwrocratiaeth Whitehall;  
• Parhau i osod seilwaith band eang y genhedlaeth nesaf ledled Cymru.

 O ran caffael yn y sector cyhoeddus, ar 21 Chwefror cyhoeddodd y Gweinidog Cyllid ac Arweinydd y Tŷ fod adolygiad wedi’i gomisiynu o effaith polisi caffael cyhoeddus ledled Cymru, a byddaf yn darparu’r argymhellion cysylltiedig.   

 Er mwyn rhoi’r adroddiad hwn ar waith yn llawn, bydd yn hanfodol gweithio ar lefel llywodraeth gyfan.  Mae’r adroddiad yn argymell yn gryf y bydd angen gweithio effeithiol a chydgysylltiedig ar draws adrannau a sefydliadau i ddarparu fframwaith cyffredin, i sicrhau sefydlogrwydd a chymorth sy’n canolbwyntio ar ficro\-fusnesau.  

 Byddaf yn rhoi gwybodaeth reolaidd i Aelodau ar y datblygiadau, a’r hyn sy’n cael ei gyflawni o ran y cynllun gweithredu, a bydd fy swyddogion yn gweithio’n agos gyda’r rhanddeiliaid ar sut yn union i roi hyn ar waith.

The Micro\-Business Task and Finish Group I set up in September 2011, under the Chairmanship of Robert Lloyd\-Griffiths, Director Wales, Institute of Directors, launched their report on the 18 January 2012\.


The report identified five key priorities; awareness and access of business support services for micro\-business, access to finance, mentoring and coaching, public sector procurement and regulatory burden.


In the micro\-business debate on 31 January I made a commitment to update Members with information on the implementation proposals. I have now considered and am happy to accept all of the recommendations underpinning the priorities that fall within my portfolio. A full implementation plan has been drawn up and is being delivered against.  


Actions I am taking immediately include the following:  

• Develop, define and test proposals from the Micro\-Business Task and Finish Group on creating a clear business support brand;  

• Promote and raise awareness of, and access to business support for micro\-businesses;  

• Prioritise access to finance, for example the SME growth fund which will be open for applications by the end of March.  The Department is also in advanced discussions with Finance Wales on setting up a £6m fund specifically targeted at micro\-businesses;  

• Enhance lobbying by the Welsh Government on non devolved regulatory burden that impact on Welsh business;  

• Engaging with stakeholders to ensure solutions meet requirements;  

• Research global best practice to inform implementation, for example, the New Zealand Mentoring model; and  

• Commission a review to consider streamlining the number of publically funded business support products and providers.  


In the short to medium term the following actions will be implemented:


• Establishing a network of One Stop Shops across Wales to provide businesses with direct and indirect support by expanding and redirecting the current Regional Centre Service.  The approach will be piloted from this April followed by full roll out by January 2013;  

• Aligned to and included in the delivery of the One Stop Shop approach, deliver:  

\- Establishment of a pan\-Wales mentoring and coaching scheme;  

\- Access to appropriate finance options including funding up to £20,000;  

\- Support aimed at minimising the impact of regulation on business, developed with engagement from the Welsh Government funded Local Better Regulation Office;  

\- Access to provision of international trade and exporting support;  

• Communicate with stakeholders and ‘go live’ with the business support brand across the support offer;  

• Lobby for change and implement positive action to minimise regulation e.g. Business Rate Review Task and Finish Group and Whitehall Red Tape Challenge; and  

• Continue to deliver next generation broadband infrastructure across Wales through the existing project.


In addition, in relation to public sector procurement, on the 21st February the Finance Minister and Leader of the House announced the commissioning of a review into the impact of public procurement policy across Wales and I will provide the related recommendations for consideration.


In order to fully implement this report a whole government approach will be crucial. The report recommends strongly that effective and co\-ordinated cross departmental and organisation work will be needed to deliver an over\-arching framework to ensure stability and focussed support for micro\-businesses.


I will provide Members with updates on progress and delivery against the implementation plan and my officials will be working closely with stakeholders on the specific details of implementation.
