FRED Adds Small Business Credit Survey (SBCS) Data

Posted on June 12, 2026

FRED has added 420 data series from the Small Business Credit Survey (SBCS) reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.

The SBCS captures the perspectives of business owners operating firms with fewer than 500 employees; it is conducted in partnership with business and industry associations, local agencies, and nonprofits. Because it is a convenience-sample survey, the data are weighted using Census Bureau data to match the distribution of firms in the SBCS sample to the distribution of small employer firms (1-499 employees) in the United States by age of the business, industry, number of employees, census division, urban or rural location, and owner's race, ethnicity, and gender. The SBCS is conducted each year in the fall, and reports on the results are released beginning the following spring.

More details are available here.
