I am a high school student who for an economics class needs to interview small business owners. As you all know, high school life can be pretty cumbersome and to make my life easier I have decided to put my questions out in the most efficient way, on the internet.

If you could answer the questions there, and maybe a few not listed (dependent on your business) that would be appreciated:o.

The image you posted is a little small so it's difficult to read the questions. Do you mind posting them here in the thread. It'll probably get you more responses and a general discussion too.

I agree with Vangogh, Post the questions and can either respond in the thread or can private message/email you response.

I'd prefer to interview using PMs instead of the phone.
