MSME reporting should follow the cost of doing business

The cost of doing business is shaped by more than tax rates. Fuel, food inputs, payment settlement, loan terms, compliance time and access to working capital all influence whether a small enterprise can hire, invest and survive a weak month.\n\nMSME Post will report policy changes through documents, business impact and the steps owners can take. We will distinguish a proposal from an implemented rule, identify uncertainty and return to stories when the promised benefit reaches the market.\n\nSmall-business journalism should help readers make decisions, not simply repeat corporate or government language.
