The UK Business Data Survey (UKBDS), commissioned by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, began in 2021. The survey is a telephone- and online-based quantitative and qualitative study of UK businesses. It gathers evidence on the importance and awareness of digital data use for UK businesses and seeks to understand the role of digital data in UK businesses, international transfers of data and activities undertaken for data protection compliance.

The 2021 UKBDS was the first time this survey had been carried out. The quantitative survey took place from November 2020 to January 2021 and the qualitative interviews were undertaken in February 2021. The research was delayed from spring 2020 to minimise the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the quality of responses and the robustness of the results.

The 2021 survey covers the following business practices relating to data:

• acquisition and sharing
• impact of COVID-19 on personal data collection
• data-related roles and skills
• data protection
• international transfer

The Business Structure Database (BSD) contains a small number of variables for almost all business organisations in the UK. The BSD is derived primarily from the Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR), which is a live register of data collected by HM Revenue and Customs via VAT and Pay As You Earn (PAYE) records. The IDBR data are complimented with data from ONS business surveys. If a business is liable for VAT (turnover exceeds the VAT threshold) and/or has at least one member of staff registered for the PAYE tax collection system, then the business will appear on the IDBR (and hence in the BSD). In 2004 it was estimated that the businesses listed on the IDBR accounted for almost 99 per cent of economic activity in the UK. Only very small businesses, such as the self-employed were not found on the IDBR.

The IDBR is frequently updated, and contains confidential information that cannot be accessed by non-civil servants without special permission. However, the ONS Virtual Micro-data Laboratory (VML) created and developed the BSD, which is a 'snapshot' in time of the IDBR, in order to provide a version of the IDBR for research use, taking full account of changes in ownership and restructuring of businesses. The 'snapshot' is taken around April, and the captured point-in-time data are supplied to the VML by the following September. The reporting period is generally the financial year. For example, the 2000 BSD file is produced in September 2000, using data captured from the IDBR in April 2000. The data will reflect the financial year of April 1999 to March 2000. However, the ONS may, during this time, update the IDBR with data on companies from its own business surveys, such as the Annual Business Survey (SN 7451).

The data are divided into 'enterprises' and 'local units'. An enterprise is the overall business organisation. A local unit is a 'plant', such as a factory, shop, branch, etc. In some cases, an enterprise will only have one local unit, and in other cases (such as a bank or supermarket), an enterprise will own many local units.

For each company, data are available on employment, turnover, foreign ownership, and industrial activity based on Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)92, SIC 2003 or SIC 2007. Year of 'birth' (company start-up date) and 'death' (termination date) are also included, as well as postcodes for both enterprises and their local units. Previously only pseudo-anonymised postcodes were available but now all postcodes are real.

The ONS is continually developing the BSD, and so researchers are strongly recommended to read all documentation pertaining to this dataset before using the data.

Linking to Other Business Studies
These data contain IDBR reference numbers. These are anonymous but unique reference numbers assigned to business organisations. Their inclusion allows researchers to combine different business survey sources together. Researchers may consider applying for other business data to assist their research.

The Longitudinal Small Business Survey (LSBS) is a large-scale telephone survey of small business owners and managers commissioned by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). This survey is the latest in a series of annual and biennial Small Business Surveys (SBS) dating back to 2003.

In 2015, the survey methodology changed to include a longitudinal tracking element. A large sample size was recruited in Year One (2015) to establish a panel of businesses to be re-surveyed in subsequent years. This will allow a detailed analysis of how combinations of factors affect business performance.

The LSBS is intended to:

• Improve the understanding of what drives and constrains business performance and growth by addressing evidence gaps relating to the lags between many business activities and associated performance outcomes;
• Provide improved data on current business performance and the factors that affect this. The larger survey size will provide more reliable findings for key sub-groups of the business population and in relation to activities such as seeking finance, which are only relevant to part of the sample.

The data available covers all respondents over the course of the six years so far. Further information and research reports are available on the GOV.UK "https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/small-business-survey-reports"> Small Business Survey Reports webpage.

Controlled (Secure) Access Version
A Controlled (Secure) Access version of the LSBS is available from the UK Data Archive, subject to stringent secure access conditions. Extra variables include postcode district, 2-, 3-, and 4-digit SIC codes; and Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR) reference numbers for linking to other business surveys. Small Business Survey data files for 2010 and 2012 containing 4-digit SIC codes and IDBR reference numbers are available under SN 6856. Users are strongly advised to check whether the safeguarded version is sufficient for their needs before considering an application for the Controlled (Secure) Access version.

Latest edition information
For the ninth edition (December 2024), the data and documentation have been updated to include Year 9 of the survey, completed during 2023-2024.

Business intelligence and analytics software publishers' revenue is expected to swell at a compound annual rate of 1.9% over the five years through 2024-25 to reach £884.9 million. Strong growth has been fuelled by rising business software investment, IT and telecommunications adoption, advances in computing technology and the digitalisation of business processes. This has driven the advent of big data, providing new data sets which can interface with business analytics software. Many software products, including customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning systems, have become basic tools for managing large companies. The largest publishers have pursued acquisition activity to take control of cloud companies and data analytics businesses. These industry giants are generally selective with acquisitions, embracing the switch to software as a service and adopting the low-cost cloud model. The industry has demonstrated resilience amid turbulent times, continuing on a growth path in recent years. This is primarily a result of the rapid digitisation spurred by the pandemic. As remote work became the new norm and businesses faced the necessity of managing expansive data sets efficiently, they turned to analytics software. Despite fiscal stresses, companies continued investing in software subscriptions, recognising the indispensable use of applications in a remote work environment. As such, subscriptions and sales of cloud-based software witnessed noticeable growth. Revenue is forecast to climb by 1.9% in 2024-25, with profit also expected to edge up as demand remains strong. Over the five years through 2029-30, revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 2.9% to reach £1 billion. Heightened adoption of industry-specific software among small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) is projected to fuel growth. The ongoing transition towards business intelligence apps hosted on external servers and accessible via secure internet connections – known as software as a service (SaaS) – will open up new possibilities. While workforce complications and restrictions on the freedom of movement present potential challenges, the industry's future still looks strong, characterised by a continued focus on research and development and aggressive acquisition strategies from the biggest publishers.

A survey conducted in April and May 2023 revealed that around a quarter of United States and United Kingdom organizations were highly concerned about data privacy law enforcement involving their company. A further 35 percent were worried about data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents. Dealing with high costs of privacy law compliance was a concern for approximately 20 percent of the respondents.
