Small Business Concerns: Economic Stability, Cybersecurity, Inflation, and Succession Planning

  • Summary

  • On this week's episode of the Paychex THRIVE Week in Review, host Gene Marks talks about key news items affecting small businesses. Recent surveys from MetLife, the US Chamber of Commerce, Viking Cloud, and the US Census Bureau, focus on three main topics: a slight decline in the small business index due to softening in business health and cash flow; cybersecurity concerns, notably a report that 40% of cybersecurity teams haven't disclosed breaches, risking compliance and increasing vulnerability; and a looming succession planning crisis as many business owners near retirement age without clear plans for their businesses' futures. Gene emphasizes the high concerns among business owners about inflation, particularly its record-high impact, and the urgent need to address these trends.
