2 FSB EU REFERENDUM SNAP POLL The FSB EU Referendum snap poll was sent on the 20 February to both the Big Voice Survey panel, as well as half of the FSB membership database who had addresses. The survey remained open until 9am on Tuesday 23 February and resulted in 4005 responses 1.

4 3. Which areas will influence voting intentions? FSB members ranked a list of ten issues in the following order: EU governance (e.g. EU decision making) 75% Free movement of people (e.g. of EU labour, travel, tourism) 70% Cost of EU membership 69% Administrative burden onbusinesses as a result of complying with regulation 68% Economic impact on the UK 64% Trade with EU Countries 53% Access to the Single Market 49% Trade with non-eu Countries 48% EU funding 42% Competition 35% When asked When thinking about the forthcoming referendum on the UK s membership of the European Union, which of the following areas do you need more information on? FSB members answered they needed more information on: The economic impact on the UK 48% Administrative burden of regulation 38% Cost of EU membership 33% 4. Concluding remarks Small businesses want clarity on what the practical impact of staying in or leaving the EU will have on their business. A staggering 52 per cent of our members do not feel informed about the EU. We will continue to push for clarity on what the practical impact of remaining within or leaving the EU will have on small firms. Across the UK the sway vote for small businesses varied. The national figure was 42 per cent, in Scotland and Northern Ireland this was slightly higher at 43 per cent. Conversely in Wales only 33 per cent of small firms indicated their vote could still be swayed. Our role in the debate is to ensure the voice of small business is heard. This new research focused on discovering the real issues that would influence how a small business would vote and to discover the specific areas they want more information on. We will use this information to ensure that both the Remain and Leave campaigns addresses the issues facing smaller businesses. The FSB is neutral in the EU referendum debate and will not be backing either the remain or leave vote. For this reason we did not re- ask the voting intention question in this snap survey.
