VT Small Business Survey
Main Street Alliance and the Vermont Professionals of Color Network is partnered with Vermont Small Business Development Center as they begin to engage in the Small Business Administration’s Community Navigator Pilot Program.
In service of this program and small business needs, Main Street Alliance and the Vermont Professionals of Color seek to further understand what is working well for small businesses and what gaps still exist. They seek to connect with Vermont’s women, BIPOC,
veteran and rural owned businesses, and those who have yet to access resources from regional and state-based programming.
As “spokes” in the larger Community Navigator Pilot Program, the two organizations are integrally connected to resources and programming throughout Vermont. To ensure that the needs of our small business community are met, they act as a conduit to connect businesses
to these services.
By listening deeply and centering the small business voice, the hope is to influence transformative change in Vermont to make for a more equitable and accessible small business economy.
Main Street Alliance and the Vermont Professionals of Color Network are asking small businesses to complete the following survey. The questionnaire should take approximately 20 minutes. Small businesses may start it and have 14 days to finish if necessary.
