If you have ever wondered how the powers-that-be know what businesses are worried about and how confident they are for their future prospects then the answer is simple - YOU tell them via us!

The Federation of Small Businesses quarterly confidence 'Big Voice' survey (known as our our SBI) is a long-standing and highly-respected gauge of current SME thinking and every time the reports are out - both nationally and regionally here in the South West - we share them widely with councillors, MPs, the Government and other key stakeholders so they can have a feel for what is happening and hopefully act upon it.
The new SBI is now live - and we want YOU to take part to make it the most accurate and relevant survey of small business and self employed confidence levels possible.
The survey closes on Thursday 6 July so don't delay: have your say here now and be part of this vital business reporting story.
