The fourth in a series of nationwide surveys on the business environment and reality for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) was conducted by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth and Statistics Sweden in 2011. The survey examined the situation of SMEs, the opportunities for growth and perceived threats to growth. Over 19,000 SME owners gave their views on topics such as growth, competition, regulations, internationalisation and access to finance.
