BUSOWN-1 |
Section:
Business
Ownership |
We would like to know whether you have ever owned a business. By
business, we mean any activity operated with regularity for the purpose of
generating income or profit. We are interested in
all incorporated companies and partnerships in which you had any ownership
share, as well as unincorporated businesses that you may have operated as a
sole proprietor, independent contractor, consultant, or free-lancer. This even
includes informal businesses such as cleaning services, gardening services, and
the selling of goods out of your home, as long as they generated income and
were operated on a regular basis. The only businesses we are not interested in
are those operated on a highly sporadic basis, those carried out purely as a
hobby, and those in which you were merely a shareholder or investor with no
role in the operation of the company.
Since you were 18 years old, have you ever owned a business that would be of
interest to us according to this description?
(INTERVIEWER: PLEASE SEE HELP SCREEN FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.)
