The purpose of this survey is to better understand operating and investment behavior among participants in the private capital markets. These include business owners, entrepreneurs, capital providers (angel, venture capital, mezzanine, private equity), lenders (banks, ABLs, equipment leasing, and factors) intermediaries (investment bankers and business brokers), appraisers, and limited partners. The goal is to provide insightful and timely information to allow private capital market participants to make better investment and financing decisions.  For your time, you will receive various discounts, a complimentary report in 4-6 weeks on all survey segments as well as a 2012 outlook in advance of general distribution. Promotion codes for the D&B CreditAdvisor™, Pepperdine University Certificate program and the ACG Capital Expo will be provided upon completion of the survey. Your individual responses will be kept confidential.  

Throughout the survey you can move forward by clicking on the "next" button and backward by clicking on the "back" button. And if you get interrupted, lose a connection, or need to take a break, you will be able to proceed where you departed providing it is from the same computer and before the survey window closes. Just re-click on the original survey link, reselect your survey type and you should be placed back into the survey where you departed.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this important research project!
