Discover Small Business Watch

The Discover Small Business Watch is a monthly index of the economic confidence of the nation's 22 million businesses with five or fewer employees.

Key Takeaways from the April Watch:

Economic confidence among small business owners decreased in April, driven largely by a deteriorating outlook on economic conditions for their businesses, rising insecurity about the U.S. economy and increased cash-flow issues. The Watch dropped from 117.7 in March to 110.3 in April, marking the largest month-to-month decline since the survey's inception nine months ago.
