Small-business owners: Share your experiences
Each year, the Federal Reserve Banks conduct the Small Business Credit Survey to learn about small business’ financial conditions, their credit needs, and emerging issues. This survey gives voice to thousands of small business owners. By sharing your perspective, you can inform researchers, policymakers, small business advocates, and the public about your successes and challenges as you navigate doing business.
If you own a small business, I invite you to take this year’s Small Business Credit Survey.
Tell us what you’re experiencing. Our team will combine your responses with thousands of others from across the United States to learn what doing business means for businesses like yours. Take a few minutes and respond today.
The survey takes 10–12 minutes to complete.
It’s open to for-profit businesses with fewer than 500 employees.
Responses are confidential.
Small-business owners do not need to provide any personal information.
