we turned to focus on the theme of business resilience, with the launch of ERC\u2019s latest research report \u2013 Building resilience in under-represented entrepreneur: A European comparative study \u2013 the culmination of a two-year project across five European cities, supported by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>The report outlines the strategies of entrepreneurs running small businesses in London, Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid and Paris and the difference approaches taken by under-represented groups in these locations \u2013 particularly in relation to firms objectives and use of external advice.<br \/>\nThe research also notes difference experiences of crises in the preceding five years. While sector, location and entrepreneurs characteristics have some influence on the likelihood of experiencing and surviving a threat to the business over the period, our survey of nearly 3,000 businesses highlights a disconnect between the internal factors that entrepreneurs worry about, and the largely external forces that can prompt a crisis. A finding that is common across locations and types of business leader.<br \/>\nThe research findings informed a number of recommendations for policy makers and private sector agencies offering advice and support to small businesses. In a London context, these focuses on segmenting the SME market and reviewing target outcomes. The research is also informing the on-going development of a toolkit, designed by ERC to help small firms assess their resilience and adopt a more structured approach to crisis planning.<br \/>\nThe research output and toolkit were presented at ERC\u2019s Research Showcase. In addition to debate from the audience, our panel of experts, which included an entrepreneur and representatives from business support and membership bodies <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitc.org.uk\/\">BITC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fsb.org.uk\/\">FSB<\/a>, reflected on the findings, noting the potential value of an assessment tool and the importance of access to specialist advice and peer-to-peer learning.<br \/>\nThe research report and summary can be accessed on our website.<\/p>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_gallery  el_before_av_button ' ><a href='https:\/\/www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk\/sme-resilience-project-jpmorgan\/'  class='avia-button av-19myj9t-3700ec5e93013cffebe2a177de0969a4 avia-icon_select-no avia-size-medium avia-position-left avia-color-orange'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Click here for the full report package <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_button  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='https:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/enterpriseresearchcentre\/erc-research-shocase-presentation-january-2020' class='avia-button av-jdx6r5-4fd495db99fe1167dfe5eefa3e9d66eb avia-icon_select-no avia-size-medium avia-position-left avia-color-blue' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Click here for the full presentation<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>On-going development and testing of the toolkit will continue, following positive engagement with our stakeholders.
