Cost of Doing Business in NYC Survey

Annual Survey from the NYC Department of Small Business Services

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and right now, too many are being pushed to the brink. Mayor Mamdani has made affordability a cornerstone of his administration, and that commitment extends to the small business owners and entrepreneurs who power our local economy.

We want to hear directly from you. Over the past 12 months, what has it actually cost to run your business in New York City? What challenges have you faced?

Your feedback is essential and the survey will only take around 10-15 minutes. The insights you share will directly inform our programs, guide our advocacy, and help us measure progress as a city. All responses are anonymous unless you choose to share your contact information for follow‑up.
