South Staffordshire Business Survey 2025

To better understand and support the needs of our local business community, South Staffordshire Council is conducting the 2025 Business Survey. The survey will help build a clearer picture of the local economic landscape, identify challenges and opportunities, and inform future support and decision making.

The survey also directly supports our Business Partnership pledge: to engage with business partners to understand the challenges and opportunities available.

Completing the survey offers several benefits:

• Help build a clearer economic picture: Your input contributes to a better understanding of the local economic situation, helping the council and partners respond more effectively.
• Influence local decision-making: Your responses will help shape council priorities, delivery of business support, and investment priorities.
• Highlight your needs: Identify specific challenges your business faces, such as recruitment, training, or market access so that tailored support can be developed.
• Access future opportunities: By engaging in the survey you will hear about hear about funding, training, apprenticeships, and growth initiatives from the Council and partner organisations.
• Strengthen the local economy: Collective feedback will help build a stronger, more resilient business environment across South Staffordshire.
• Raise your profile: Participation can lead to networking, collaboration, and visibility.
• Your input is vital. The more businesses that respond, the more accurately we can reflect the needs of our local economy and deliver meaningful support.
