Small Business Owners Confident on Finances, Revenue Growth

More small business owners say their company’s current financial situation is good, yet their outlook for the next year has not changed significantly, according to a new survey.

The latest Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index score increased slightly to positive 49 (+49) in July, up two points from positive 47 (+47) in April. The score, which measures small business optimism, has increased six of the last seven quarters. Small business optimism is now at its highest point in more than six years, however it remains well below pre-recession levels.
