The 2004 survey was then repeated in 2008 (see under SN 6314). As the 2007 survey made a number of changes to the 2004 questionnaire, it is not a direct member of the UKSMEF series, but stands alongside it as a separate cross-sectional survey. <br> <br> The 2007 survey collected information about the business owner / leader, the age of the business, the types of finance used, number of finance providers and the length of the relationship, switching banks, types of new finance applied for and the success in obtaining this finance.<br> <br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR>The survey included sections on:<ul><li> general business characteristics</li><li>ownership/leader details</li><li>information on start-up businesses</li><li>use of finance products: overdrafts, deposits, loans and mortgages, leasing and HP, factoring/invoice discounting, credit cards, equity finance</li><li>new finance sought</li><li>switching banks</li><li>taxation</li><li>finance in context</li><li>balance sheet information</li></ul> 17 September 2007 - 15 November 200717 September 200715 November 2007 United Kingdom IndividualsInstitutions/organisationsNational SMEs in the UK, with up to 250 employees, surveyed in 2007.
