We’re helping spread the word about an important statewide survey from the Maine Center for Business and Economic Research (MCBER).

MCBER is conducting research to better understand the needs, challenges, and opportunities facing BIPOC entrepreneurs and small business owners across Maine. The insights gathered will help identify where additional business support, resources, and services are needed to strengthen entrepreneurial growth statewide.

If you are a BIPOC entrepreneur or small business owner, or know someone who is, please consider taking and sharing this anonymous survey.
