The survey will run every month and offer data just two weeks from finalised questionnaire - the first results will be available on 2nd February. IFF says the launch comes in response to client demands for a survey that 'regularly and quickly take the pulse of the country's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)'.

Sample is split by turnover (300 < £1m and 200 > £1m); and by number of employees (100 sole traders, 150 micro-businesses (1-9 staff), and 150 small and 100 medium businesses (10-49 and 50-249 employees) respectively.

He adds: 'The omnibus is one of a number of launches to come from IFF Research this year as we grow our offer to both private and public sector organisations that want to understand commercial drivers and trends in the UK.'
