This webinar is now available to watch on-demand.

Small businesses are on the road to recovery, although hiring, supply chain disruptions, and rising costs remain persistent challenges. As small-business owners navigated these challenges through 2022, pandemic-related funding programs ended, and owners turned to other funding sources – including traditional financial institutions and their own savings. How are small businesses doing? How are they accessing credit, and what gaps remain? Join us for a Connecting Communities webinar exploring new insights from the Federal Reserve Small Business Credit Survey (SBCS) 2023 Report on Employer Firms.

The Federal Reserve and a diverse group of nonprofits have administered the SBCS since 2016. The only survey of its kind, the SBCS and reports developed from it help the Fed, entities supporting small businesses, lenders, and policymakers better understand the credit experiences and challenges of small-business owners across the country.
