Other Information:

SBE Council is respected for its research, studies and reports covering a wide range of issues. The “Small Business Survival Index,” “Business Tax Index” and other policy cost indexes are widely reported on by the media, and provide state lawmakers and policy makers with tools to measure the policy competitiveness of their states and how they stack up against their counterparts. We produce regular “Entrepreneurs and the Economy” surveys that track small business sentiment on key policy and economic issues. SBE Council’s research in the areas of technology, monetary policy, taxes, regulation, energy, small business financing and more are used to support our advocacy efforts. They are used to educate lawmakers, policy leaders, media, coalition partners, and the public about the vital role entrepreneurs play in job creation, innovation, economic growth and the nation’s competitiveness. SBE Council’s research helps us advance policies and initiatives that encourage start-up activity and small business growth.
