SUPPLY, NC – The Small Business Center at Brunswick Community College recently completed a six month research project that was funded by the South Brunswick Islands Committee of 100. The result is a comprehensive study of entrepreneurs in Brunswick County. The final report is available via the Brunswick Community College website at www.brunswickcc.edu.
Both the South Brunswick Islands Committee of 100 and the Brunswick Community College Small Business Center agreed that the first step in creating a more “entrepreneurial-friendly community” is to ask entrepreneurs what their experiences have been and what they need to be successful. This project included a written survey followed by an interview portion.
Entrepreneurs were asked to answer specific questions about their business start-up and their ongoing experiences as their business matured. Over 100 entrepreneurs participated throughout the County. Entrepreneurs were selected carefully to provide a representative cross section of the population. Selection factors also included size of business, geographic coverage, and stage of entrepreneurship, such as aspiring entrepreneurs, failed entrepreneurs, “serial entrepreneurs” that have several ventures, and high growth entrepreneurs.
