It is time for our Spring 2024 Small Business Survey! We are asking small business owners across the country to share their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges they’re facing as summer approaches. Their insights will help us shape the resources and support that Main Street America offers to small businesses.
The survey quick and easy to fill out, and it is available in both English and Spanish. Anonymized results will be shared on mainstreet.org in July. The deadline to complete the survey is Wednesday, June 19.
Please encourage the small business owners in your Main Street district to fill out the survey. Every response helps us provide better resources and support for the Network.
If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please send them to the MSA Research Team at research@mainstreet.org.
