The New Year inevitably brings with it predictions for the year ahead, including many about the future of small businesses in the US. Though, unsurprisingly, inflation, staffing and supply chain pressures are expected to persist, according to the experts, small business owners could also face additional obstacles related to securing financing in the year ahead.
Predictions include:
  • Banks (especially less-mature alternative lenders) will scale back their lending to small businesses as the economy slows.
  • Small business owners seeking funding can expect to pay more for capital.
  • Small business owners will need consistent cash flow and strong credit to have loan options.
  • Expansion plans will need to conservative.
