March Startup Sentiment Index™ Shows Aspiring Business Owners Increasingly ConfidentNORFOLK, Va., April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneurs who agree or strongly agree that "now is a good time to start a business" grew in March to 69.3% of respondents, the highest recorded since February 2020, before the pandemic became headline news. FranchiseInsights.com compiles monthly the Small Business Startup Sentiment Index™ (SSI) of individuals who have recently inquired about businesses for sale. The most recent Startup Sentiment Index™ survey was conducted March 25-30, 2021, as news of accelerated vaccination timelines was tempered by reports of increasing Covid cases, following a significant jump in air travel associated with spring vacationing in the U.S. Additional highlights:
"Business conditions as perceived by aspiring business owners haven't been better since the pandemic unfolded," says Hunter Stokes, president of FrachiseVentures. "The next several months should show a wave of startups based on this data." Download a copy of the March SSI report here.
