ICAEW Enterprise Survey

The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) has just released its enterprise survey, which examines how UK business is taking advantage of globalisation, reports on future growth plans and discusses the barriers to that growth.

The research revealed that:

• banks are seen as obstructive


• regulatory costs to business continue to intensify - with the burden increasingly falling on small and medium sized businesses


• over the next five years we will see a major shift up the value chain of business activity being purchased from abroad


• the lack of high level skills is impacting on business growth
