Why Participate in Southern Capital Project Research?
Southern Capital Project wants to hear the story of how you started and are growing your business. We are seeking small business owners who have been in business for six years or less to participate in various online focus groups we are holding with small business owners from Kansas City, Missouri, and Little Rock, Arkansas.
We Want to Hear Your Story
We are exploring how people from different backgrounds receive support from their local community. The first two groups we examine are white men and black women who have businesses six years old or less in Kansas City, Missouri, and Little Rock, Arkansas. To gather this information, we are conducting a variety of online focus groups that will take no more than an hour and a half of your time this May-June 2023.
About our Research
Our research uses the stories and feedback of business owners to examine the challenges and opportunities they face when starting and growing their businesses.
Participating in our study allows you to share your experiences and perspectives on what support you received from your family, community, and local government as a small business owner.
​
When the research is complete, we will inform your local small business support organizations, government officials, and others in your community about improving support for entrepreneurs like you.
What will I receive?
Upon completion of participating in our virtual focus groups and interviews via Zoom in May 2023, you will receive compensation of $200 in the form of a digital gift card. If interested, you may also receive an additional $50 for participating in a follow-up survey for marketing purposes.
