Read our Business Owner Survey

by Haines Watts Thetford on 30 November 2011

HW conducted a survey in 2010 titled Happiness & Heartbreak.  Although some of the figures may now be out of date we feel it gives an interesting insight in to the thoughts of the business owner.

As a business owner, you are faced with tough decisions every day, however, you are not alone. Many other owners are going through the same tough decision making process.
Haines Watts has recently conducted a national survey to better understand the day to day and strategic challenges faced by business owners. These thought-provoking findings have been published by Haines Watts and are now available to download, please click here to view the full survey.

Read about how other business owners are coping with the current economic climate, who they turn to for advice and the highs and lows of running a business. In addition, we welcome your comments on any of the issues highlighted in the report and your own experiences of running a business.

Happiness and Heartbreak focuses on the experience of business owners and uncovers many key findings including:
1 in 4 business owners are ‘currently’ being asked to provide personal guarantees to support their business
Only 14% of business owners felt the VAT reduction had helped their business
68% of business owners have avoided making redundancies in the past year
