Notice Description

The University of Warwick has a requirement for a large-scale survey of small firms with a focus on the availability of equity funding for early-stage entrepreneurs.

This project is being funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Innovate UK (IUK).
