9 Appetite for business and social enterprise

10 Almost three fifths of UK adults are in work, and 18% of these are self employed either some or all of the time. Working status Employment status 12% 44% 6% Working 56% 82% Not working Working Self-employed Part time (employee & self-employed) Employee Page 10 Base: All (2343) Base: All in work (1196)

Which of the following statements applies to you? 70% 60% 50% 40% 39% 41% 38% 39% 36% 38% 35% 38% 33% 36% 37% 30% 20% Ambition Gap 10% 0% 5% 6% 5% 5% 6% 7% 7% 6% 6% 6% April 4% I would like to start my own business or enterprise (All) I am in the process of starting my own business or enterprise (All) Page 11 Base: All respondents except self-employed (2103)

12 More than three quarters of those who want to set up their own business or enterprise would choose to set up a forprofit business. Just below one-fifth would choose to start a social enterprise. What type of business or enterprise would you most like to start up? 19% All wanting to start their own business or enterprise 4% 77% A social enterprise A charity A for profit business Page 12 Base: All respondents who would like to start their own business or enterprise (787)

13 Of those who would like to start their own business, four fifths have yet to do anything about it. There is little difference between those who want to start a social enterprise and other types of businesses. Which, if any, of the following statements regarding setting up a business or enterprise most applies to you? 81% 82% 18% 17% 1% 1% Have not yet started business Have begun business planning Business is starting All All who want to set up a social enterprise Page 13 Base: All respondents who would like to start their own business or enterprise (787) Base: All respondents who would like to start their own business & who would like to set up a social enterprise (157)

14 Although supporting themselves and their families would be the priority for UK adults if they were to set up their own business or enterprise, many of the features of social enterprises are considered important, too. Particularly behaving ethically and protecting the welfare of employees. Lifestyle improvements such as improving their work/life balance and being their own boss also motivate would-be entrepreneurs. How important would each of the following be to you in starting up your own business or enterprise? (SUM: Important) Supporting me/ my family financially Improving my work/life balance 90% 91% 84% 87% Behaving ethically Protecting the welfare of employees Being my own boss Behaving in an environmentally sustainable way 82% 81% 79% 75% 73% 87% 93% 91% Providing employment for people in my community Providing products/ services which support my community 67% 65% 84% 84% Supporting social causes that I am passionate about 59% 83% All All who would choose to set up a social enterprise Page 14 Base: All respondents (2343) Base: All respondents who would choose to set up a social enterprise (534)

15 Concern about accessing start up funds, the current economic climate and perceived risk are the biggest barriers to starting a business or enterprise. Those who would choose to set up a social enterprise perceive the same barriers but are also more worried than average by a lack of skills, the need to test their idea, and the economic climate. What do you think are/would be the biggest barriers to starting your own business or enterprise? I don't think I could get enough money to start up The current economic climate is too difficult It's too risky It's easier to work for someone else I don't think that I would be able to get a loan Need more skills Need better networks Need to test my idea No opportunities I am happy with my current working status Don't know/ I've never thought about it 8% 6% 3% 4% 13% 12% 28% 31% 27% 29% 27% 24% 23% 23% 28% 35% 40% 39% 41% 46% 46% 52% All All who would choose to set up a social enterprise Page 15 Base: All respondents who would like to start their own business or enterprise (787) Base: All respondents who would like to start their own business & who would like to set up a social enterprise (157)

18 High potential individuals This quarter we have looked at the individuals most likely to start high-growth businesses, in order to identify any difference between their attitudes and those of their peers. High potential individuals are defined as being in full time employment, with a degree-level education and with a household income higher than 34,000

19 High potential individuals are more likely than the general population to say they would like to set up a for profit business. What type of business or enterprise would you most like to start up? 22% 21% A social enterprise ALL 10% A charity A for profit business High potential individuals 6% 68% 73% Page 19 Base: All (2343) Base: All HPIs (202)

20 High potential individuals who are not self-employed are two times more likely than the whole employed population to be in the process of starting their own business or enterprise. However, the ambition gap is larger for high potential individuals, given their greater motivation to starting their own business or enterprise. 37% 55% 4% 8% All respondents, except self-employed High potential individuals, except self-employed I would like to start my own business or enterprise I am in the process of starting my own business or enterprise Page 20 Base: All respondents except self-employed (2103) Base: All HPIs except self-employed (261)

21 High potential individuals have a stronger tendency than the general population to consider lifestyle improvements as important factors if they were to set up their own business or enterprise. However, having a social agenda is considered important, too. How important would each of the following be to you in starting up your own business or enterprise? (SUM: Important) Supporting me/ my family financially Improving my work/life balance Being my own boss Behaving ethically Protecting the welfare of employees 90% 94% 84% 89% 79% 83% 82% 82% 81% 79% Behaving in an environmentally sustainable way Providing products/ services which support my community Supporting social causes that I am passionate about Providing employment for people in my community 73% 69% 65% 67% 59% 64% 67% 63% All High Potential Individuals Page 21 Base: All respondents (2343) Base: HPIs (202)

22 High potential individuals are more worried about accessing start up funds than other barriers but are less worried about this and other obstacles than the average of those who would like to start their own business or enterprise. HPIs are also much less likely than average to say that the current economic climate and the ability to get a loan are significant barriers but are more likely to perceive riskiness, lack of networks and the idea that it is easier to work for someone else as biggest barriers to entrepreneurship. What do you think are/would be the biggest barriers to starting your own business or enterprise? I don't think I could get enough money to start up It's too risky The current economic climate is too difficult It's easier to work for someone else Need more skills Need better networks Need to test my idea I don't think that I would be able to get a loan No opportunities I am happy with my current working status Don't know/ I've never thought about it 3% 3% 8% 13% 13% 12% 19% 24% 23% 25% 28% 27% 29% 27% 29% 33% 33% 39% 40% 40% 45% 52% All All HPIs who would like to start their own business or enterprise Page 22 Base: All respondents who would like to start their own business or enterprise (787) Base: All HPIs who would like to start their own business (101)

23 Although High potential individuals are more likely to say that they have the necessary skillset and that they know where they could get relevant information in order to set up their own business or enterprise, their fear of failure is above average, too. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statements? (Total Agree) 64% 53% 57% 47% 45% 36% 26% 28% 18% 20% Fear of failure would prevent me from trying to start my own business or enterprise I feel I have the ability and skills to set up my own business or enterprise I know where I could go to get more information about starting my own business or enterprise Now is a good time to start your own business or enterprise Starting your own business or enterprise is not considered a serious career goal All High Potential Individuals Page 23 Base: All respondents (2343) Base: HPIs (202)

24 The proportion of HPIs saying that financial investment would help them most in setting up their own business or enterprise is slightly lower than average. Contrarily, HPIs are more likely than other potential entrepreneurs to say that business advice would help them most. What would help you most in setting up your business or enterprise? 21% Business advice 21% ALL 33% Financial investment Business training High potential individuals 37% 46% 42% Page 24 Base: All wanting to set up a business or enterprise (787) Base: All HPIs wanting to set up a business or enterprise (101)

Potential entrepreneurs have a similar opinion about UK job creators. Which of the following kinds of company do you think creates the most new job opportunities in the UK each year? Large and medium size businesses, 33% 17% 30% Micro businesses (fewer than 10 employees) Small businesses (10-49 employees) 17% ALL Medium size businesses ( employees) BIS figures Large businesses (250+ employees) 36% Small businesses and start-ups, 67% Page 45 Base: All (2343); BIS, 2011, Job creation and destruction in the UK: , p.5

46 Young people are more likely than the population as a whole to see medium size and large businesses as the main job creators in the UK.
