UK SBS FWRECR16124BEIS - Longitudinal Small Business Survey Year 3 businesses with 0-9 employees

BIS Research and Evaluation Framework Lot 4 The BIS/BEIS Small Business Survey (SBS) has operated since 2003 and is a key source of reliable data on SME performance and the factors that affect this. In 2015, the SBS was developed into a longitudinal survey. An initial sample of 15,500 SMEs (0 to 249 employees) was surveyed between August 2015 and December 2015. Respondents to this first survey were resurveyed in Autumn 2016. The aim of this project is to conduct a telephone survey of businesses with 0 to 9 employees which were initially surveyed in LSBS Year 1 and subsequently resurveyed in 2016.
