2022 Annual Family Business Survey - Pat Soldano

2022 Family Business Survey

At Family Enterprise USA we advocate for American multi-generational business at a national level!

Our meetings with legislators are the most important work we do. We need your voice to communicate the challenges that multi-generational businesses are facing daily!

We need your participation in this survey.  It’ll only take 4 1/2 minutes of your time.

Family Enterprise USA have been conducting this anonymous survey for over 10 years to demonstrate to Congress just how vital multi-generational businesses are to the American economy, job growth and our communities.

We are committed to meeting with your elected officials to educate them on why multi-generational businesses are so important to the economic engine that creates jobs and improves people’s lives.

Family Enterprise USA needs your participation in this survey because we MUST have data to understand your issues and concerns and relay this to legislators at a national level. With over a 10 years of information, Congress listens to what we have to say.

Please take anonymous survey and thank you for being supportive of our work!
