Small Businesses Felt the Shift in Q1 as Well

| By:


At the end of last year, small businesses were feeling a renewed sense of optimism about what 2023 might bring. Then the mood soured a little, according to a new study conducted by IOU Financial. “Most businesses did not perform as well during the first quarter of 2023 as they had the previous quarter,” it found. Only 28% of respondents said that their business performed in line with their expectations for the quarter and thirty-seven percent said that their business actually performed worse or much worse. Despite this, only 12% predict that their business will perform worse or much worse in Q2 vs. Q1. In fact, 67% predict that their business will perform somewhat better or much better than Q1.

Interest rates and a possible recession remain the top concerns for business owners. Overall, IOU summed up its findings as a “rocky start to 2023, but optimism for small business growth remains strong.”
