CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Index Q1 2018

CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Index Q1 2018

Overall small business confidence jumped across the board from an index value of 57 in the fourth quarter of 2017 to a value of 62 in the first quarter of 2018, a five-point swing that is the largest quarter-to-quarter movement the CNBC|SurveyMonkey Small Business Index has seen to date. The shift was driven by increased optimism for tax policy: half (50 percent) of small business owners see tax cuts in 2018. Those who expect tax cuts score nearly 20 points higher on the index than those who don’t see one ahead (71 vs. 52).

In Q4, small business owners were split evenly on a core index question about the effect that tax policy would have on their business, but no longer. Opinions have shifted significantly, and twice as many now expect changes in tax policy to have a positive rather than a negative effect on their businesses (46 to 23 percent).
