We are pleased to announce the publication of our Fall 2022 Beyond the Trends report. The Sales are coming!! Small businesses have been building inventory over the last year driven by fears that the global supply chain could break down at any moment. This anxiety created an environment of pre-ordering behavior intended to elevate the worry felt during the height of the pandemic that their business would fail not due to a lack of shoppers, but an empty shelf. Global economic environments change quickly, and our world is seeing heightened inflation. This increase in the price of goods and services is leading to softened consumer demand. Will holiday sales keep small business afloat before consumer behavior changes. Tough challenges for newer businesses and lenders Forty percent of small business have been operating for less than 1 year. These new businesses will be challenged by a tightening credit market, rising costs, and softening consumer demand. Commercial lenders are originating 13% less high risk subprime accounts since the 2021 even as through the door high risk inquiries have increased by 59%. Average credit lines on new commercial originations dropped 3% since the beginning of the pandemic as lenders look for growth while limiting exposure. In Q22022 those lines rose 1.4% as 40% less small businesses were accessing commercial credit. Download Fall 2022 Beyond the Trends Report

Experian has released the Summer 2022 Beyond the Trends report, our deep dive on the small business economy based on our commercial small business insights.

Experian and Oxford Economics have just released the Q1 2022 Main Street report, a window into the credit performance of small businesses complete with macroeconomic analysis. Highlights: The US economy contracted in Q1 for the first time since the pandemic-driven recession ended, but the domestic economy showed resilience in the face of Omicron, lingering supply constraints, and high inflation. Delinquency rates rose across the term periods; the 90+ days past due (DPD) climbed to 0.9 percent. Looking ahead, intensifying headwinds from more aggressive Fed tightening and tighter financial conditions will slow activity this year without stalling it.
