Small business optimism is growing, according to a survey released today by Wells Fargo Gallup. The survey, which interviewed 600 small business owners in early January, found an increase in expected revenue, hiring and access to credit in the coming year.
It's among several surveysof small businesses released in the past weeks that indicate small business optimism is on the rise.
Marc Bernstein, executive vice president and Head of Wells Fargo Business Direct and Small Business Segment, noticed several things in the data that indicate 2012 could be a better year for business, including “a stop in the decline of capital spending, delinquencies in payments are down, and borrowing is up,” he told CNBC.com.
