Legal/Confidentiality
This area addresses the Census Bureau's authority to gather these data and the protections guaranteed to your
company. See Census Bureau's Data Protection and Privacy Policy for additional detailed information.
Confidentiality of Reported Data
Title 13 U.S. Code, Section 9, provides complete protection for all reported information. Your Census Bureau form is
CONFIDENTIAL. It may be seen only by persons sworn to uphold the confidentiality of Census Bureau information and may
be used only for statistical purposes. Our publications provide no information about individual company operations. In
addition, the forms you send to us and copies you retain are immune from legal action. Federal law specifically exempts the
reports from the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
Note: Some surveys compile data from public records (e.g., building permits). The United States Code, Title 13, authorizes
such data collection, but Section 9 provides an exception to the confidentiality of data compiled from public records.
Legal Authority to Conduct the Economic Census and Surveys
Title 13 of the U.S. Code, Section 131, directs the Census Bureau to conduct the economic census at 5-year intervals
covering years ending in 2 and 7. Title 13, Section 182, authorizes the Census Bureau to conduct monthly, quarterly, and
annual surveys to furnish more timely reports on subjects covered by the economic census.
Use of Data Your Company Reported to Other Government Agencies
We make extensive use of administrative information from other government agencies in order to help reduce your reporting
burden. These provide basic data - total receipts, total payroll, and total employment - needed to produce statistics for
geographic areas and types of businesses. However, we must obtain data from all large companies and a small, scientifically
designed sample of smaller ones, in order to provide data on a wide range of subjects covered by the censuses.
Confidentiality of data used from other federal agencies is strictly enforced. Also, please note that these same agencies
cannot obtain data for an individual establishment or company from us.

Content
The survey collects data on the gender, ethnicity, race, and veteran status for up to four persons owning the majority of rights, equity, or
interest in the business. Additional demographic and economic characteristics of the business owners and their businesses will be
collected, such as: owner's age, education level, and primary function in the business; family- and home-based businesses; types of
customers and workers; and sources of financing for capital improvements or start-up.
The Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs introduces a new data collection module each year focusing on an important component related to
business growth. For the 2014 reference year, the module selected covers innovation and research and development. The survey will also
collect data on entrepreneurs' access to capital to conduct their business.
Frequency
The Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs is conducted annually as an intercensal economic census program based on the Survey of Business
Owners required by law under Title 13 U.S.C. Sections, 131, 182, 224, and 225.
Methods
The 2014 Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs collection is electronic only. The current estimate of the sample is 290,000 employer businesses
that were in operation anytime during 2014. An initial letter that informs the respondents of their requirement to complete the survey and
provides survey access instructions will occur in September 2015, with a due date of November 4, 2015.
Data Products
The Census Bureau will collect data starting with the 2014 reference year, with corresponding estimates releasing in 2016. Estimates will
include number of firms, sales/receipts, annual payroll, and employment by gender, ethnicity, race, and veteran status.
Uses
Government program officials, industry organization leaders, economic and social analysts and researchers, and business entrepreneurs
are anticipated users of Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs statistics. Examples of data use include:
• The Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency to assess business assistance needs and
allocate available program resources.
• Local government commissions on small and disadvantaged businesses to establish and evaluate contract procurement
practices.
• Federal, state and local government agencies as a framework for planning, directing and assessing programs that promote the
activities of disadvantaged groups.
• The National Women's Business Council to assess the state of women's business ownership for policymakers, researchers, and
the public at large.
• Consultants and researchers to analyze long-term economic and demographic shifts, and differences in ownership and
performance among geographic areas.
• Individual business owners to analyze their operations in comparison to similar firms, compute their market share, and assess
their growth and future prospects.
