The Neighborhood Small Business Needs Assessment is a collaborative effort led by the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce across the community.  We know it is vital to understand the needs of neighborhood restaurants, retail businesses and other small businesses that make up the fabric of our community.

The data collected will be used to advocate for additional and continued support of our small business community. You have the option to omit any identifying information about your business. This survey is open to businesses in Guilford County with 100 employees or fewer.  Chamber membership is not required to complete the survey.

We hope you find this survey easy and quick to complete.  All data will be reported collectively; no single response will be traced to any individual or specific business entity. Please respond by end of day Thursday, March 11th.  Any questions may be sent to tmyers@greensboro.org.
