The survey took place in March-April 2014 (pilot stage) and in May-July 2014 (main stage). The aim was to collect evidence to help inform policies for London businesses. The LBS had also been run in 2006. When the GLA approached ONS to run the survey, it had three key requirements:<ul><li>that the survey should be representative of London, specifically of private sector businesses in the main sectors of London’s economy</li><li>that the survey should cover the topics of interest to those commissioning the survey, including how London is rated as a business location, ease of access to finance for Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), employment, skills and training, the economic outlook, international trade and innovation</li><li>that it should be possible to analyse the results by enterprise size (comparing SMEs with large firms) and by industry sector</li></ul>ONS selected a sample using the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR), the sampling frame which is used for most official business surveys. The LBS enterprise size bands are:<ul><li>micro enterprises: 0 to 9 employees</li><li>other SMEs: 10 to 249 employees</li><li>large enterprises: 250+ employees</li></ul>Linking to other business studies These data contain IDBR reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research. Main Topics: The survey questions cover the following main topics:<ul><li>profile of the business</li><li>worforce</li><li>economic growth and trade</li><li>factors affecting the business</li><li>business support and facilities</li><li>access to finance</li><li>innovation</li><li>Greater London as a business location</li></ul> May 2014 - August 201401 May 201401 August 2014 United Kingdom Institutions/organisationsSubnational Private sector businesses in Greater London in 2014 Numeric Cross-sectional (one-time) study Multi-stage stratified random sample Telephone interviewPostal survey The Data Collection is available to users registered with the UK Data Service.Commercial use is not permitted.Use of the data requires approval from the data owner or their nominee.
