In partnership with SBDC, EDC invites local small businesses across San Diego and Imperial Counties participate in a brief survey to better understand evolving business needs in this ever-changing climate.
The aggregated survey results will help SBDC provide regional business support and programming via its network of advisors. The survey is being conducted by BW Research, an independent research organization, and should take approximately 10-15 minutes of your time. Individual responses will not be published.
We want to make sure that the small businesses (fewer than 100 employees) in your cities are represented. Can you please help distribute to small businesses registered in your city and/or any small businesses you may be working with? We greatly appreciate your support!
