Global Connections Survey: guidance

Guidance for businesses on how to complete the Global Connections Survey.


Who should complete the survey

We are interested in businesses with economic activity in Scotland, regardless of the location of the headquarters.

We are interested in all types of organisations including companies, businesses, firms, practices, partnerships, farms, small holdings etc. and all sizes of organisations including sole traders and smaller family run businesses.

Even if you do not export or have no international connections, this information is still valuable.

The sales and export information provided should relate solely to the economic activity of the Scottish branches or operations of your company. If your company has multiple Scottish branches/operations then the information provided should relate to all those who report to you.

If your company is based in Scotland or if the company is based elsewhere but has administrative offices with decision-making autonomy relating to the Scottish operations, then please tick the Scotland box in Question 2. Otherwise, please tick ‘Other’ and specify where your company headquarters are based.

The best person to complete these surveys is likely to be the Finance Director or Financial Controller at your organisation.
