The South Carolina Department of Commerce’s Innovation & Entrepreneurship team is partnering with the Federal Reserve System on the  2026 Small Business Credit Survey (SBCS)!

The SBCS is a national survey that collects valuable data on the experiences and financing needs of small businesses. The findings help policymakers, lenders, resource partners, and researchers better understand the challenges and opportunities facing small businesses and inform how they can be better supported.  By sharing the survey with business owners and leaders across your network, you can help ensure South Carolina businesses have a voice in this important national research.

The survey is open now through November 13, 2026.  To participate in the survey, click on Take the Federal Reserve’s 2026 Small Business Credit Survey.
