The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) in Scotland has launched its biggest ever state of the nation survey project, The Big Small Business Survey.
The organisation wants to ask small business owners in Scotland an extended series of questions to capture a comprehensive snapshot of trading conditions and challenges across the country.
The aim is to give small businesses, and by extension the communities they represent, a voice, so that the FSB can make sure their views continue to be represented to decision makers in government.
