If you’re running a small business...

It’s been…a lot. The wins feel extra sweet. The challenges feel extra challenging. And you’re out here tryin’ to do more with less. So we decided to find out what’s really working—and what’s just wearing people out.

That’s what the State of Small Biz 2025 Report is all about—real data from 245 real small business owners across 40 states and 13 industries.

It's always in the back of your mind

Is your small business “normal”?

Turns out, there’s no one version of “normal”. But this small business report will help you understand where you fit. Because we surveyed small business owners to see what’s going on behind the scenes—and the answers are equal parts surprising, inspiring, and yep, that tracks.

Because sometimes the most comforting thing isn’t knowing you’re doing it “right”. It’s realizing no one has it all figured out (and that’s okay).
