The Small Business Research Board
The
Small Business Research Board (SBRB) monitors the opinions of small
business owners and managers on a wide variety of topics related to
their own business as well as national and international issues that
may impact their operations. It’s the source for small business
opinions.
Based
on the survey data, the SBRB publishes a Small Business Confidence
Index (SBCI) as well as information about a variety of business
issues in the U.S. and Canada. The studies look both at nationwide
as well as regional trends. Additionally, the SBRB issues similar
SBCI and issues reports for seven industry categories. The
industries include Construction & Contracting, Manufacturing,
Transportation, Food & Beverage, Retailing, Distribution &
Wholesaling and Automobile & Vehicle Dealerships.
International
Profit Associates (IPA) has been the co-sponsor of the Small Business
Research Board SBCI and many U.S. issues related studies since its
inception in 2004.
Participants
in SBRB studies provide feedback on significant issues and allow for
real-time insight into the state of small businesses nationwide. The
universe of participants is developed from among more than 100,000
small businesses throughout the United States.
