Visa Small Business Report Yields Mixed Picture |
A new small business spending report released today by
Visa USA indicates that, while small businesses remain relatively bullish about
revenue growth, increasing expenditures on energy, healthcare and taxes are
pressing concerns for small business owners.
The report, titled “Visa Small Business Spend Insights,” will be
published quarterly and provides a comprehensive view of the U.S. small business climate by combining a poll
of U.S.
small businesses with the most current Visa spending data on small business
cards.
“More than most, small business owners are
susceptible to the effects of rising costs and fluctuations in the
economy. As such, they need to hedge
against spending increases and economic uncertainty by making smart IT
investment decisions and utilizing cash management tools such as payment
cards,” said Wayne Best, senior vice president, Business and Economic Analysis,
Visa USA.
