Survey partners invite small businesses in their network to participate in the survey. Partners promote the survey on their website, through social media channels, and via email. Marketing materials are provided to make distributing the survey easy for partner organizations. Once the survey data are processed, partners that draw at least 50 responses will receive individualized reports so they can compare the experiences of businesses in their networks with the national sample. See an example of a partner report.
Partner organizations are required to sign an agreement that outlines expectations and responsibilities associated with SBCS partnership. View the Partner Agreement.
