Forbes is assembling a list of America's Most Promising Companies and is looking for nominations.

They teamed with The Venture Alliance, adviser to early-stage companies, to offer a comprehensive  self-assessment survey that captures the potential of a small business from all angles, as a professional investor would look at it and are going to feature the best ones.

Forbes.com has agreed to offer:

--A few high scorers will have the opportunity to raise additional capital through TVA.

--All those who submit surveys will be given a 12-category qualitative snapshot of how their business stacks up to an ideal business in their industry, and at a similar stage of development.

--Some participants will be profiled in a weekly feature on Forbes.com.

--Some participants will have the opportunity to get a makeover from a self-made titan in their industry.

Companies have until the end of June to collect all of the surveys, so time is a factor. Seems like a good opportunity. The survey can be found here.
