SURVEY METHODOLOGY
The data was collected through an online survey conducted through the Angus Reid Forum panel. The research was facilitated by MARU/Vision Critical Research & Consulting. The survey was conducted between September 9th and September 19th, 2016. To enable cross-tabulation and analysis amongst demographic subgroups, the sample size is n=507 Canadian small businesses. The margin of error for the study is estimated to be +/- 4.4%.
