Welcome to Delta Economics

Delta Economics is the pre-eminant source of market intelligence and insight for the entrepreneurial and small business sector globally.

We are a research-led economics consultancy with a particular focus on sustainable economic development through responsible enterprise.  We conduct research to the highest global standards:

• We provide economic consultancy on the entrepreneurial and small business sector internationally to providers of services into those markets.
• We contribute to the evidence base that informs policy and commercial thinking across the world. 
• We have unrivalled access to global economic data influencing this sector.
• Our capacity includes a database of 2 million companies in the UK which we are currently widening to include the US and Europe.

Our activities include publications, pure and applied qualitative and quantitative research, thought leadership and consultancy in policy and business arenas.  We run an annual survey looking at the Challenges and Opportunities for Growth and Sustainability (COGS) amongst 2000 entrepreneurs in the UK.  Our annual conference, the World Entrepreneur Summit, has become a regular feature of the sustainable enterprise calendar with around 350 attendees from all over the world.  We have a particular expertise in the following: entrepreneurship and enterprise, social enterprise, corporate responsibility, innovation and technology transfer, access to finance and general macroeconomic conditions and their impact on company behaviours and strategies.

We are experienced in all aspects of market research and economic analysis.  We have run surveys and managed large scale datasets for the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, HSBC, Grant Thornton and Barclays bank and conducted focus and conflict groups, action research, in-depth interviews, qualitative surveys and literature and documentary reviews for academic, policy and business clients.  All our research is focused on the end user and we specialise in “translating” complex economic and econometric concepts into language and outputs that are useful in an applied setting.

Our background and our links with some of the world’s leading research and delivery organisations, place us in the middle of the international debate on mechanisms to address the global challenges of sustainable economic development through the people that make change happen on the ground.
