## Notice

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. This specification relates only to the Year 3 resurvey of businesses with 10 to 249 employees. The Year 3 survey of businesses with 0 to 9 employees and the analysis and reporting associated with the Year 3 surveys are being commissioned through separate procurement exercises. LSBS is funded by BEIS and other stakeholders including, HMRC the devolved administrations the British Business Bank and LPC. A similar group of external funders will be involved in LSBS in 2017. The aim of this project is to conduct a telephone survey of businesses with 10 to 249 employees which were initially surveyed in LSBS Year 1 and subsequently resurveyed in 2016.
