Local businesses are being asked for their reactions to the government's Spring Budget, as part of the latest Buckinghamshire Business Barometer survey.
Businesses can also provide an update on their own recent performance and how they are faring with current trading conditions.
The Spring Budget comes at a crucial time for businesses, who are looking for stability following a prolonged period of economic uncertainty. As the government looks to outline its plan for growth, Buckinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership (Bucks LEP) and Buckinghamshire Business First are keen to hear the reactions of local businesses.
Philippa Batting, Managing Director of Buckinghamshire Business First, explains: "Our aim is to understand how businesses have fared in the last few months so that we can build a picture of the needs and opportunities that exist in the Buckinghamshire business community. We'd like as many local firms as possible to have their say. This valuable insight into the local economy is fed into our conversations with government and other stakeholders to ensure the voice of Buckinghamshire firms is being heard nationally."
As a thank you for the time taken to share their views, respondents will be entered into a prize draw to win a lunch for two at Beaconsfield restaurant Riwaz by Atul Kochhar.
