WASHINGTON, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, the National Small Business Association (NSBA) is releasing its annual Small Business Economic Report which shows a small-business community facing increased costs, economic insecurity and a hesitancy to embark on any significant growth. NSBA has been conducting this report for 20 years which takes a comprehensive look at growth, hiring, financing, policy and a host of other key indicators.
“More businesses today are not seeking external financing than at any point since we’ve been doing the survey,” stated NSBA President and CEO Todd McCracken. “This underscores slower anticipated growth rates and a generally stagnant small-business economy.”
Among the key findings:
“Economic uncertainty remains the top concern for America’s small-business owners with U.S. political instability a close second,” stated NSBA Chair Bill Belknap, CEO and President of AEONRG, LLC in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. “These are issues our political leaders could easily impact for the good—if they wanted to.”
