Thank You!

Thank you for taking the time to complete the Small Business Credit Survey. Your responses are important! By sharing your perspectives, you help policymakers at the Federal Reserve and at government agencies to better understand the experiences of many different types of small businesses, including yours. Taken together, survey responses from small businesses across the country shed light on the challenges business owners face, their credit needs, and emerging issues. This information enables public officials, lenders, and community organizations to design programs and services that support small businesses. The survey results are also covered by national media, keeping small business interests top of mind in public discourse on economic priorities.

What’s next?

If you provided your email address in the survey, you will receive a notification when the first report is released from this year’s survey. Additionally, when the 2026 survey opens, you will receive an email inviting you to participate. Returning small businesses are especially important to the survey effort, and we hope you will consider responding again.
