We recently launched our sixth QCA/BDO Small and Mid-Cap Sentiment Index, a quarterly online survey that regularly monitors business sentiment in the small and mid-cap quoted company sector. As well as our regular tracking questions, this quarter's survey focuses listed debt and alternative financing options.
Members will have recently received an email from YouGov, our research partners, and us, asking them to participate in the survey. The survey takes around three minutes to complete and can be accessed by clicking the link below:

Once you have completed it, please pass the link above onto your colleagues in the small and mid-cap sector.
What you say in the survey influences change. In our last survey, the majority said that AIM and ISDX shares into ISAs would have the greatest positive impact on your company/the sector if it were announced in the 2013 Budget. We passed this onto Treasury in our Budget submission and last month the Government announced a consultation on this in the Autumn Statement.
Everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a prize draw for Kindle Fire e-reader.
If you have any issues completing the survey, please email qca-bdo-index@yougov.com. We value your support in this project and we look forward to sharing the results of our sixth survey with you.
