Dear Business Owner:
|
|
The Broward County Small Business Development Division has rededicated itself to your success.
Over the coming months and years, we hope to be true advocates for your business and its products and services.
We are offering this survey as an opportunity for us to learn more about your business and your needs as a business owner.

|
We hope you find this online survey easy and quick to complete.
There are twenty questions.
Because the answers you provide are used along with answers from other businesses, no single response is traceable to any specific individual or business entity.
However, if you would like additional information and/or a response to a question, you may provide your email address at the end of the survey and we will contact you and/or send information to you immediately.
|
|
By completing this survey, you will enable the Broward County Small Business Development Division to better serve you.
The information you provide will form the basis of the Division's future operations and offerings.
|

Thank you in advance for your participation.
