The Federation of Small Businesses produce a Quarterly Voice of Small Business Index, a report that looks at capacity levels, employment, revenues and the confidence of small firms. The Index is created from the views of small firms from the FSB survey panel. The attached MS Excel spreadsheet is an RSN developed analysis of their survey results for LEP areas for the quarters ending February 2012, May 2012, August 2012, November 2012, February 2013 and May 2013.

Our analysis of this survey is shown below:
