The objective of this survey is to assess the entrepreneurial climate and entrepreneurs’ confidence in their ability to start and sustain a business in Lake County. It is my intent to collect this data for the purpose of tracking trends and patterns that may be emerging. Your participation in this survey is appreciated and could help shape the direction of future efforts in economic development, particularly community support for entrepreneurship. Please note, regardless of whether or not you consider yourself an entrepreneur, your feedback is very valuable to me.

This survey consists of approximately twenty questions and should take approximately ten minutes to complete. If you don't know the answer or the question is not applicable to you, please select N/A. Answering these questions is voluntary. All responses will be confidential.

Thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact:
