AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Costs and Confidence: U.S. small-business optimism held near its long-run average in October, but taxes jumped as a top concern and 36% of owners had jobs they couldn’t fill. Inflation also ran hotter than forecast, adding pressure on prices and margins. Credit Access: The SBA’s new iCAP platform aims to speed 7(a) loan delivery. In Nigeria, SMEDAN and Zoho opened applications for digital credits worth up to ₦20 billion for 25,000 businesses. Trade and Growth: Prairie businesses are seeking European markets as the U.S.-Canada trade dispute drags on. Pakistan has reserved Rs300 billion in export financing for SME exporters. African Funding: South African small-business payments firm Yoco secured a R1.6 billion financing deal, a major funding boost for its growth plans.
