| Summary | Establishment of new small companies is a must for maintaining our economic viability. This is why NLFC has conducted as many as nine Surveys of New Start-ups since 1969. This survey, the most recent of the kind, comes with three distinct areas of focus: (1) changes in start-up conditions such as the decline in real estate prices and the alleviation of the labor shortage problem; (2) new businesses by women; and (3) new businesses by the middle-aged. We gave both a questionnaire and an interview (by visiting ) to 62 of the new starters surveyed here. |
| Data Type | quantitative research: micro data |
| Universe | A total of 6,440 companies which were, among other companies financed by NLFC between April and September, 1993, either within one year of opening or before opening at the time of financing. |
