Washington, DC — In a new nationwide poll, Main Street Alliance found small business owners overwhelmingly (81%) support legislation to require businesses to list the true identity of their owners when forming, in order to address issues of fraud and abuse. Even when presented with arguments for and against, owners overwhelmingly (72% to 17%) side with an argument that owner transparency would level the playing field and protect small businesses over an argument that it is an unnecessary burden.

The survey, which included businesses with 50 employees or less, was conducted by Lake Research Partners between August 31 – September 16, 2020 and has a margin of error of +/- 4.0 percent.
