Details

On behalf of the Department for International Trade (DIT), Ipsos MORI carried out research to:

• provide evidence on exporting behaviours of medium sized businesses (MSBs), and what the barriers and challenges to exporting are
• explore which sources of support MSBs currently seek out, and their perceptions of how useful this support is
• gauge how MSBs feel support should be provided in the future, and what they perceive the role of government to be within that
• explore attitudes around willingness to pay for export promotion products and services

This was published originally by Department for International Trade (DIT) which has since moved to the Department for Business and Trade (DBT).
