The Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) are the ‘first-stop-shop’ for providing advice and guidance, financial assistance and other supports to those wishing to start or grow their own business. The purpose of the LEO Annual Employment Survey (AES) is to monitor the employment performance amongst micro enterprises employing 10 people or less that have received direct financial assistance through the LEOs. The results of the AES provide a statistical breakdown on a sectoral basis and the numbers of new full time and part time jobs supported by the LEOs in those sectors as set down in the table. The LEO AES does not monitor employee status or rates of payment in client companies.
