This study is partially funded by a grant from the Delta Dental Making Smiles Happen program. The objectives of the study are:
1. Measure the awareness of programs provided by economic development agencies to small businesses and the entrepreneur.
2. Measure the perceived effectiveness of these programs by Kentucky Entrepreneurs.
3. Capture a large enough sample as to provide statistical significance.
4. Provide meaningful data on what the needs of the small business community are to assist them in growing their business.
Kentucky, like many states has spent great effort and resources on developing programs for small businesses. Often times these efforts are designed and administered by individuals who have no entrepreneurial experience.
