Details

The Business Perceptions Survey sets out businesses’ views on the extent of regulation in the UK since 2007. The 2022 survey was commissioned by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and conducted by IFF Research.

The survey took place between 5 January and 10 March 2022 and included 2,000 25-minute telephone interviews.

The objectives of the 2022 BPS were to:

  • assess the impact that regulation has on businesses
  • explore what aspects of regulation and regulatory delivery are most burdensome to businesses
  • measure the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and the impact of the UK’s exit from the EU
  • explore businesses’ views on regulators in general
