The anticipated contract period will commence on 20 June 2022 and conclude on 19 September 2022. Interested parties should register their interest via the University of Warwick's In-Tend supplier portal.

Businesses that excel in conducting surveys, particularly telephone surveys, would find this project well-suited to their capabilities. Engaging in this contract could enhance a firm's visibility and new client acquisition in the growing field of equity funding analysis for entrepreneurs. ## Notice 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 will include science-based entrepreneurs but also those from other sectors where the provision of equity investment is helpful during the early stages of business development. The working hypothesis is that there remains an equity gap in early-stage equity at the PS250k to PS1m range, below the scale at which formal VC investments are typically made. This project is being funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and Innovate UK (IUK).
