Federal Reserve survey seeks input from Oklahoma City small businesses

The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber is partnering with the Federal Reserve System to encourage local small business owners to share their experiences through the 2026 Small Business Credit Survey.

Conducted annually by all 12 Federal Reserve Banks, the nationwide survey gathers information about the financial conditions, financing experiences and future outlook of small businesses. The results help inform policymakers, lenders, service providers and others working to understand and support the needs of small businesses.

The confidential survey is open to owners and key financial decision-makers of for-profit businesses with fewer than 500 employees across all industries. Businesses currently operating, recently closed or preparing to launch are eligible to participate.

Participants are asked about topics including business conditions, use of debt, financing experiences and expectations for profitability and hiring. Responses contribute to data used to better understand the challenges and needs facing small businesses.

The survey takes approximately 12 minutes to complete and does not require participants to provide personally identifying information. It is open through Nov. 13.
