The Entrepreneurial Capacity Test for Communities (ECTC) helps communities to assess their capacity to work with and support entrepreneurs, and to foster small business growth. The test measures the perceptions of community leaders, business people and citizens about the current business environment in a community. This report summarizes the first phase of the ECTC.  Phase I included the assessment of the community’s apparent small business resources and potential.  This information was gathered through a survey and a focus group session.
