This survey was created by Migration Yorkshire. It will help us design better support for people who are refugees and migrants in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

We'd love to hear from you if you have the lived experience of migration and:

are self-employed (work for yourself), or
own a business, or
have an idea for a business / would like to start a business

All the information you share with us will be anonymous and the survey should take you 5 minutes to complete. Your answers will help us understand what might be stopping you from starting your own business or becoming self-employed (working for yourself).

If you have any questions, please contact ewa.lelontko@migrationyorkshire.org.uk
