Total value of funding and measurement of impact.
Dear Ms. Downes,
We are compiling data on the number of start up companies and growing companies in Wales who have received funding. This data will be used to compare the impact of different funding mechanisms.
1) For each year since 2008 how many companies have received funding?
2) What is the total value of the funding each year?
3) How many jobs have been created each year?
4) How is the impact measured (percentage turnover increase)?
5) What do you monitor in order to measure the effectiveness of funding?
Yours faithfully,
Jade Rough

Dear Beverley Downes,
For questions 4 and 5 asked in the previous request -
4) How is the impact measured (percentage turnover increase)?
5) What do you monitor in order to measure the effectiveness of
funding?
You said this information was available via this hyperlink: http://www.financewales.co.uk/what-we-do...
However, having looked at this page I do not believe it contains the answers to the questions. Is there a direct link to this information or could you tell me if I am overlooking something on that page?
Yours sincerely,
Jade Rough
