Q1 2021 Experian/Moody's Analytics Main Street Report

Document: Published Aug 16, 2021

Small businesses increased hiring for the holidays funded by credit while servicing their outstanding debts. The moderately delinquent balances for small businesses declined to 1.21 percent in the fourth quarter from 1.60 percent at the same time last year. Taxes are a rising issue for small businesses, but increasing concerns here did not dampen borrowing or hiring in the fourth quarter. The availability of credit has cushioned the blow of the pandemic for now and a third stimulus will help insulate small businesses from altered consumer spending patterns.
