Small Business Growth
Recently the Wichita Business Journal reported on a study by the Brookings Institution showing that nationally business formation had dropped in 2009-2011 compared to 1978-1980. In Wichita, business formation had dropped to one half the rate it had been in 1978-1980.
While there are certainly multiple reasons, surveys by the National Federation of Independent Business reveals a substantial part of the cause. Of nine regions of the U.S. the most important problem identified by independent businesses broke out as follows:
Regulations 5 regions including ours
Poor sales and regulations 2 regions
Insurance and regulations 1 region
Poor sales 1 region
Other top concerns included uncertainty over economic conditions; uncertainty over government actions; unreasonable government regulations; federal taxes on business income; tax complexity; and frequent changes in federal tax laws and rules.
