Research into Women's Enterprise

We at Smart Women have been asked if we can help with some research into the barriers that women face when they want to set up their own business, and into what kind of support they feel that they need.

The research is being co-ordinated by Ashfield District Council and Nottinghamshire Business Venture, and conducted by Focus Consultants, with the aim of ensuring that the kind of business support they offer for women in future is that which is most useful and most valued.

You don’t have to be based in Ashfield for your views to be of value, and whatever stage of business you are at they will be useful, so if you have time to answer 10 short questions, your contribution to this research would be very much appreciated.

In fact, you might even get to win a £25 gift voucher as all returned questionnaires will be entered into a prize draw.

There is a deadline on this, so if you were able to complete and return the questionnaire by Friday 29th February, that would be great. You can download the questionnaire here and return the questionnaire in either of 2 ways:

· Print it off and post it to the Freepost address on the back of the questionnaire – no stamp required.
OR
· Complete electronically – you will need to save it separately first – and email back to reply@focus-consultants.com

If you have any questions about any part of the survey please call Cath or Kate at Focus Consultants on (0115) 976 5050.
