We believe making our research public is useful to the small business community, provides thought leadership benefits for our clients and increases the impact of our work. We also collectively gain from the feedback, debate and input that is generated by public release.
While we work with our clients on a confidential basis, our view is everyone benefits when small business research is put into the public domain.
