Bern I dont think it counts for much. We had a business for many years, we employed people as well, but we were very much on our own. No help came from any where. We did all the shovelling ourselves and there was no one there with a net when things got difficult. Every business has some difficulty at some time..fortunately we were okay over the long term until we stopped it ourselves at the end.
We never got any acknowledgment for the effort made or for the effort made to employ people..it counted for nothing.
But then I dont think we were expecting anything either.
