By taking the survey, you contribute to data that directly informs the Fed, federal government agencies, service providers, policymakers, and others—ultimately benefitting your business and other businesses like yours. Take the 10-minute survey now.
The survey is open to businesses currently in operation, those recently closed, and those about to launch. All responses are confidential.
