Instructions and Tips for Taking Surveys

1. Use the progress bar at the top of the page to navigate through the surveys. Begin by clicking on the "Create Profile" link on the progress bar to provide some information about yourself and your current business.

2. When you've completed your profile, click on the "Viability" link to take the viability assessment.

3. Finally, finish up with the buy or sell readiness assessment by clicking on "Choose to Buy or Sell". You'll be automatically directed into a buying sequence or a selling sequence depending on your answers to the first two questions.

4. If you don't have time to complete the surveys in one session, you can leave the SOAR application and login later to resume.

5. You can complete your profile and take your surveys only once with a single email registration address.

6. At any point after you complete the "Viability" assessment, you can check "My Resources and Scores" to see your scores and receive links to personalized references based on your answers, helping you move to the next level in your Sell or Acquire readiness.

7. Once you've submitted a survey, you can click on the "View" links on the progress bar to see data that you have already submitted.
