City of Dallas partners with Federal Reserve to gather critical small business data
DALLAS -The City of Dallas is partnering with the Federal Reserve System to draw responses to the 2026 Small Business Credit Survey, a nationwide effort to better understand the financial challenges and needs of America's small businesses.
The annual survey, which runs through November 13, 2026, invites owners and key financial decisionmakers of for-profit businesses to share their recent experiences with business conditions, financing, and their outlook for the future. The 12-minute confidential survey is open to businesses currently in operation, those recently closed, and those about to launch.
The Small Business Credit Survey is conducted annually by all 12 Federal Reserve Banks and in conjunction with more than 100 not-for-profit partners, including the City of Dallas. The resulting data will inform federal government agencies, community development financial institutions, traditional lenders, and policymakers. Past survey findings have been cited in congressional testimony, used to design lending programs, and have helped shape small business support services.
The survey is now open to for-profit businesses with fewer than 500 employees across all industries. Responses are completely confidential, and participants do not need to provide personal identifying information.
