Survey Finds Small-Business
Confidence on Upswing
By John Reosti, American Banker

Small businesses are bullish about their prospects and place a high degree of trust in their primary bank, but a surprising number, about one in four, report being cash- or capital-constrained, according to a new survey by American Banker.

The research, scheduled to be released Oct. 31, included responses by 300 small-business owners. It indicated more than a third of smaller firms, those with two to nine employees, were experiencing cash issues. The level of concern was lower among more sizable small businesses but was still significant. The average for all respondents was 27%.

The situation could point to an opportunity for banks and other small business lenders.  American Banker's survey found the majority, 81%, of small businesses reported being profitable with an even higher proportion, 88%, feeling very optimistic or somewhat optimistic about the future of their companies.

Another recent survey, the National Federation of Independent Businesses' monthly optimism index, was more mixed. The index rose three-tenths of a percentage point in September, reaching a 91.3 score, though the figure remained well below the 50-year average score of 98.

But American Banker's results align closely with a Bank of America survey released Wednesday that showed 78% of small-business owners participating expected increased revenues, while 63% were planning to expand.


Adam Stockton, Head of Retail Deposits at the New York-based bank data firm Curinos, said in an interview, “That growing confidence is translating into increased demand.

"We've seen an increase in applications across most small business loan and line products," Stockton said, citing lower inflation and falling interest rates as two of the trend's drivers.

The cash constraints small business owners bemoaned in American Banker's survey may be traced in part to the fact demand for credit is outstripping the supply, according to Stockton.  "Businesses are maybe a little more willing to act on that optimism more quickly," he said. "Banks are, perhaps understandably, a little more conservative."

"There are going to be opportunities for banks to expand lending, particularly where you can find pockets that are lower risk, or for banks that believe more strongly we'll get there from an economic perspective," Stockton said. "If we do, those that [moved] early, we've seen in the past, have a meaningful advantage."

Working Niche Marketplaces
By Kit Menkin

Successful companies and sales originators find a following in niche markets. While the pandemic may have brought more people working from the telephone, niche markets can still be created.  Certainly attending a trade show is beneficial, given the number of manufacturers or distributors that are in one place.

While the major industries are hard to break into, there are lots of smaller markets that congregate in trade shows so, that if you look for gatherings in almost any industry you may be surprised by what you find.

When the weather is good, I liked to work auctions, especially machine shop auctions, where smaller companies could use the equipment for the smaller runs, always in demand. I always brought a lot of business cards and most often also put flyers of the parked car front windows.

I not only learned a lot about the machinery, and the people who owned and worked there, but also met the auctioneers. I even wound up leasing equipment and signs to them, as well as working out pre-approvals at auctions after my client won the bid.

One of Leasing News advisors'  company dominates the church market. They lease everything from organs to pews. His company has leased them school buses, PA systems, video equipment and computers. Once you are a member of the “pact,” you are not only respected, but get referrals for your specialty service.

Consider your hobbies or previous employment as giving you knowledge about a product.  Many leasing sales people started out selling a product, from copiers, office supplies, machinery, and they learned leasing sales and decided there was more money in it, specializing in products that they know. You can also find these products and other information (not only from the articles or announcements, but online from the advertising in trade magazines.)

Look online for local businesses and see if you can build a niche from an industry particular to where you live.

I also consider joining private clubs and organizations, like the chamber of commerce. Being a Kiwanis club member not only allowed me to make friends and meet and learn from speakers, but become a speaker myself at other local Kiwanis clubs.  I started leasing automobiles so had that as the top subject along with equipment leasing. Ironically, I didn’t get many vehicle leads, but I did many dental, doctor, and other member leases by being a speaker as a member of the club.

I considered joining a Niche as it leads to more sales and even bank relations where I also got leads, too. There are other clubs like Lions and Rotary. I suggest visiting them.  Google search for the clubs near you and first see if they will take you as a speaker, and if not, take the time for having breakfast or lunch with one as a guest. Not dinners, too much drinking, in my opinion. I found them a different bunch than breakfast or lunch.
