Latest research by alternative lender Capify finds SME business confidence rebounded in the first quarter of 2023
Having reached a record low in the last quarter of 2022, the outlook of the UK’s SME community has rebounded in the first of this year. According to the latest quarterly survey from alternative finance provider Capify, SME confidence has improved in the first quarter of 2023 amid stabilising business performance and increased optimism for future outlook.
Capify’s latest quarterly survey finds a dramatic drop in SME confidence as a result of declining cash balances and concerns over cash flow.
According to Capify’s most recent quarterly survey, the outlook from the UK’s SME community has fallen to a record low level. Reflecting on the last quarter of 2022, the Business Confidence Survey revealed that SME confidence had fallen in response to ongoing economic uncertainty, rising prices and the impact of industrial action.
Released today, Capify’s SME Business Confidence Survey revealed a picture of increased stability in trading performance. One in three respondents saw turnover remain consistent with the last quarter of 2022, an increase of 8% on the period between Q3 and Q4 2022. The same number reported Q1 profit levels being consistent with the prior period, a 7% increase on the previous quarter-on-quarter level. These metrics combined to ensure 36% of respondents’ trading performance was currently in-line with targets for the year – an increase of 12% on the previous quarter.
