Each year, the Federal Reserve Banks conduct the Small Business Credit Survey to learn about small business’ financial conditions, their credit needs, and emerging issues. This survey gives voice to thousands of small business owners. By sharing your perspective, you can inform researchers, policymakers, small business advocates, and the public about your successes and challenges as you navigate doing business.

About the Small Business Credit Survey
The Small Business Credit Survey (SBCS) is an annual, national survey of firms with fewer than 500 employees. Respondents are asked to share information about their business performance, financing needs and choices, and borrowing experiences. Responses to the SBCS provide insights on the dynamics behind lending trends and shed light on various segments of the small business population.
