Overview

We are inviting businesses to respond to our survey on IP and business growth. It should take around 10-15 mins to complete. 

The survey is split into the following sections: 

  • Section 1 covers information about your business. You will be asked questions on your location, sector, firm size, age and other business activites.
  • Section 2 covers your perception, ownership and management of any IP your business may own. 
  • Section 3 covers questions on access to finance, including use of external finance. 
  • Section 4 covers experience of IP insurance (don't worry if you have no experience of IP insurance, we still want to hear from you!)
