STATEWIDE SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY SURVEY
Small businesses (business with fewer than 500 employees) are the backbone of local economies, and how they come out of this crisis is a crucial part of reopening. Your responses, combined with others, will help inform policy makers’ throughout Massachusetts with decisions about what support small businesses need as they reopen. At the end of the survey, you will have a chance to provide your email address for a chance to win one of five $100 Visa Gift Cards. So make sure to complete the whole survey!
This survey should take less than 10 minutes of your time. Your answers will only be analyzed together with other responses, and will never be used to identify you personally. If you would prefer to take this survey in a language other than English, you can select a translation using the dropdown menu in the upper-right corner of the screen.
This survey will be open for a short period of time. Please respond as soon as possible. If you have questions or comments about this survey, please contact Rich Parr at The MassINC Polling group at [email protected] or (617) 224-1628.
