Upstate has been working closely with our community and regional partners on coordinating business resources and trying to understand the impacts COVID-19 is having on your business. In order to ensure meaningful responses and assistance programs, we would like to hear from you. This survey can be completed in 5 - 10 minutes.

All responses will be kept confidential among Upstate Partners, and results will only be reported in aggregate without identifying details of any specific business. Since we are partnering regionally, you may get this survey from other sources but only need to complete it once. Thank you for your participation and assistance in helping us collect information to better serve our business community in our response and recovery efforts. We encourage you to contact us directly with any specific assistance requests.
