The purpose of the Small Business Index Survey is to track trends and issues affecting small businesses in Florida. Small business owners are surveyed quarterly in order to monitor small business trends and identify emerging issues that may be addressed by the Florida Chamber’s Small Business Council.

The fourth quarterly survey was conducted June 28, 2011 through July 15, 2011. The survey was e-mailed to small businesses in Florida and distributed by local chambers of commerce throughout the state. The Small Business Index Survey received 357 unique responses. Forty-seven percent of respondents had less than 10 employees; twenty-four percent employ between 10 and 40 employees; and twenty-seven percent have between 41 and 500 employees.

This survey is a nonscientific random sampling of small business owners in Florida.
