Research
25 years of research experience
Inspire2Enterprise provides a range of research services to social enterprises, agencies and organisations.
With over 25 years’ experience, our researchers have excellent investigative and analytical skills, along with a fundamental understanding of how enterprises work and the issues they face. We adopt a rounded approach to research, taking the time to understand your whole enterprise, not just your research requirements.
Our research team can provide your enterprise with high-quality research and information to help inform all of your business decisions and strategy. From products to pricing, markets to distribution, our robust research allows you to base your decisions on information and statistics rather than guesswork.
Academic and market-based research expertise
Our strong links with Northampton University mean we can help social enterprises access cutting-edge research on a range of issues with either an academic or market focus. We can assist local health bodies or government departments to identify research needs in support of service commissioning. And we can carry out research to fill information gaps in project bids and applications.
Our research services include:
- Business-to-business mailing lists
- Bespoke market research reports
- Local area profiles
- Salary and benefits benchmarking
- Company reports
- Merger and takeover reports
- Competitor analysis and market intelligence
- Knowledge transfer between high-performing and poorly-performing organisations
Above all, these services help newly-formed social enterprises to define their niche. Through our research, they’re able to scope the public policy landscape, assess where their services would deliver greatest impact, and compare their work and practices with key competitors.
