Venture Forward

United Kingdom

GoDaddy Venture Forward is a research initiative that quantifies the impact online microbusinesses have on their local economies.

It also provides a unique view into the attitudes, demographics, and needs of these entrepreneurs – including 2.3 million UK microbusinesses. Currently very few studies focus specifically on companies with under 10 employees. Yet, research shows the more microbusinesses there are in a community, the better the job prospects and finances of the people that live there.

Our data is updated quarterly, and available for free download.
