Introduction

This portal has been designed to provide links to internet sites that will be helpful to fellow small business researchers, policy-makers and support agencies. It will be maintained to ensure that the links are still valid and extra features will be added on a continuous basis. The objective is to make this site the definitive portal for small business research. For more information visit Thames Valley Business, Business Link and Spectator.

The portal has been designed to be easy and quick to use. Unnecessary graphics and other features that slow down response rates have been avoided. A straightforward menu structure has been adopted to aid navigation.
