What is being bought

Published requirement description

IBISWorld is one of SBREC’s essential resources. It provides highly credible, analyst-produced data vital for members looking to start, develop, or scale their businesses. Its reports include in-depth industry and sector analysis across global regions, with additional insights on sustainability trends, ESG ratings, and five-year forecasts. This level of reliable and accurate information is not available for free, and lack of access places businesses at a competitive disadvantage—particularly when preparing business plans or seeking funding, where use of credible, citable data is essential.

Given the breadth, depth, and exclusivity of IBISWorld’s content, the subscription cost represents strong value. Without this resource, SBREC’s service offering would be significantly reduced, limiting access to essential market intelligence for members. The absence of such data could undermine business planning, increase the risk of business failure, and negatively impact economic growth within the UK.
