Research into Enterprise & Entrepreneurship

We specialise in research to support enterprise and entrepreneurship. We have conducted a range of research studies in this field on behalf of agencies and organisations engaged in enterprise support.

 

Our qualitative work has provided detailed insight into the motivations, influences and aspirations of entrepreneurs responding to the challenges of personal circumstances and economic conditions. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ERS 2010 study of Young Entrepreneurs

 

 

"The information and data collated by ERS was instrumental in the development of a web platform (www.thinkenterprise.org). The excellent relationships developed between ERS staff members and those interviewed has enabled the project to develop a platform that integrates the views of those young people."

 Lesley McCall, YPECOE Deputy Director


Market Research 

We recognise the importance of cost effective market research to small businesses who need to maximise limited resources.  We have worked with business start ups and expansions across a range of sectors.

We work closely with our clients and employ quantitative and qualitative research approaches including questionnaires, depth interviews and focus groups.  We provide research and marketing reports which focus on key business objectives and ensure the best possible chance of success.
