Small business owners have been protesting the Corporate Transparency Act’s Beneficial Ownership Information (CTA BOI) rule, which requires them to provide sensitive personal information to the government, including photo identification, for every owner and decision-maker in their business. This rule, which was implemented to combat financial crimes, exempts large businesses but places a heavy burden on small businesses, who are already facing challenges such as labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and inflation.
The fight against inflation has been going well for the Federal Reserve and economy, but small business owners remain unconvinced about the progress being made. A recent CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Survey found that only 24% of small business owners believe inflation has reached a peak, while 75% expect it to continue rising. This frustration is reflected in a decline in small business confidence in the Fed, with only 31% of business owners now saying they have confidence in the central bank.
Despite a positive market reaction to Fed Chair Powell’s comments after the FOMC meeting on Wednesday, in which he all but ruled out another rate hike this year, small business confidence in the Fed has declined. Last quarter, a little over one-third (35%) of business owners said they had confidence in the Fed. That’s not fallen back to 31%, where it was in Q2 of last year.
Inflation remains a top concern for small businesses, even as the overall economy remains strong. Over one-quarter (27%) of business owners describe the economy as “excellent or good,” which has not trended lower even as inflation fears have picked back up. It’s also notably up from 21% in the year-ago quarterly survey.
The CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Confidence Index was unmoved quarter-over-quarter, at 47 out of 100, and up one point from Q2 of last year. The data is consistent with other recent small business survey findings, with both the Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Small Businesses Voices survey and the CNBC survey finding that a majority of small business owners are facing inflationary pressures. Inflation will loom large in how America’s small business owners tilt in the presidential election. Inflation is the No. 1 issue over which small business owners say they will vote, with 63% of survey respondents citing it, followed by economic growth at 61%.
A San Gabriel Valley home cleaning business has been left reeling after a group of teens broke into their parking lot, caused extensive damage to their vehicles, and left behind a trail of chaos. The incident occurred in the early morning hours of Sunday, April 20th, at Pink Sponge Home Cleaning Service in Glendora. Surveillance footage captured the teens wreaking havoc, with one discharging a fire extinguisher and two others twerking on the hoods of the company’s fleet of Volkswagen Bugs. The teens kicked in headlights, damaged windows, and carved graffiti on the vehicles, leaving behind an estimated $25,000 in losses.
