Lyons, NE – The Center for Rural Affairs’ Rural Enterprise Assistance Project (REAP), is once again circulating a statewide small business needs assessment survey, to explore how Nebraska small businesses are faring. This survey is the 4th biennial survey conducted by the organization.The survey, which only takes about 6 minutes to complete, is for business owners and those that serve them (including lenders and resource providers). Individuals are asked to complete the survey by March 31, 2014.

“The small business climate in Nebraska is constantly changing. Meeting the needs of startup and existing small businesses is extremely important to all the organizations and entities that provide small business services,” commented Jeff Reynolds, REAP Program Director. “As with previous surveys, the Center for Rural Affairs REAP program will be using the results of this ‘needs’ based survey to help shape future programming with the ultimate goal of enhancing programming to best serve the critical needs of today’s entrepreneurs.”

REAP is Nebraska’s largest microenterprise program and is committed to meeting the needs of startup and existing entrepreneurs in rural Nebraska. REAP provides lending, loan packaging, training, networking, and technical assistance opportunities for startup and existing small businesses.
