Utah women who own a business The Utah Women & Leadership Project, in partnership with the Women’s Business Center of Utah, is conducting a study on women-owned businesses within Utah. Utah women age 18 or older who own businesses are encouraged to participate.

The purpose of this research is to understand the status of women-owned businesses in Utah and the experiences of women who own these businesses, according to a press release issued by the Salt Lake Chamber. Women who live within the state of Utah and own a business are invited to participate in the research survey.

Women who take part in this study will be asked to complete a survey, which is expected to take 20-30 minutes. It is anticipated at least 1,000 people will participate in this research study. Participation is voluntary, and someone may withdraw their participation at any time, for any reason.

The survey will help Utah business, government, political, nonprofit and other types of entities, leaders and decision makers better understand the status of women-owned businesses in the state and women’s experiences starting and operating their businesses.

This information can assist state leaders, women’s support centers and others design future policies, resources, support and strategic responses that could better help women start and grow businesses within Utah.

Survey deadline is 11: 59 p.m. (MST) on April 17. To complete the survey, click here.
