NI Enterprise Barometer 2025

Now in its seventh year, the Northern Ireland Enterprise Barometer provides the most comprehensive assessment of how small businesses, micro-enterprises, and the self-employed are performing. It highlights the challenges they face and pinpoints the exact support needed to help them grow at the right time.

What makes the Enterprise Barometer data so valuable is the direct engagement of Local Enterprise Agencies with their tenants and the thousands of businesses they support locally. This unique connectivity ensures that the insights gathered are accurate, relevant, and truly representative of the business community across Northern Ireland.

To achieve meaningful change, it is vital that Government bodies and key delivery partners collaborate with Local Enterprise Agencies – the network best placed to connect with local businesses and deliver agile, tailored support that meets their real needs.
