Small businesses are critical to the US economy. But data on small businesses is limited - especially data on how and why small businesses seek financing.
Small Business Credit Survey - Federal Reserve Small Business Credit Survey
The Federal Reserve’s 2025 Small Business Credit Survey is now open, and the Pennsylvania SBDC is a partner in this effort. Owners and key financial decision-makers of for-profit businesses, share your recent experiences about whether and how you use debt, what financial conditions you face, and more.
We want to hear from you! How would you rate the financial condition of your business? Did your business seek financing such as loans or lines of credit in the last 12 months? Within the past 12 months, did your business sustain losses from a natural disaster?
Answers to these questions contribute to data that directly inform the Fed, federal government agencies, service providers, policymakers, and others—a public good ultimately benefiting your business and others like yours.
The survey is open to businesses currently in operation, those recently closed, and those about to launch. All responses are confidential. Take the survey today, and thank you for your continued support!
