Our research has found strong evidence that local
economies with higher levels of SMEs and local
ownership perform better in terms of employment
growth (especially disadvantaged and peripheral
areas), the local multiplier effect, social and
economic inclusion, income redistribution, health,
civic engagement and well-being than places heavily
reliant on inward investment where there are fewer,
larger, remotely owned employers
