Research from Barclays shows that small businesses accessing and using support services are far more likely to succeed and be profitable than those that do not.
The research suggests that small firms that use business support services are on average 20% more likely to stay in business after 30 months than those that don’t. They also have a higher turnover, are twice as likely to have bank loans, and if they do fail, they’re half as likely to fold with debts.
