## Description
The DBT requirement is for specialist econometric analysis of the Business Finance and Investment Decision Making Survey results. IFF Research will conduct the survey in Autumn Winter 2025. The survey is a structured, quantitative telephone survey of approximately 1,500 UK businesses to provide evidence on business finance and investment decision making processes and and unlike in the previous two waves, this time there will be additional emphasis in ensuring that the survey covers key issues around personal guarantees. 
Appointing Professor Marc Cowling of Oxford Brookes enables DBT to utilise his significant expertise on SME finance, familiarity with the methodology, questionnaire design, and analytical requirements  ensuring efficiency and quality.  
In addition to his familiarity is continuity and comparability across previous survey waves 2018, 2023, allowing the production of robust, longitudinal insights that can inform policy.
