BY THE NUMBERS
NSBA's 2026 Economic Report shows a small-business community facing increased costs, economic insecurity and a hesitancy to embark on any significant growth. More businesses today are not seeking external financing than at any point since we’ve been doing the survey. This underscores slower anticipated growth rates and a generally stagnant small-business economy.
