Business Conditions Survey

With interest rates on the rise, many businesses are now managing higher repayments, tighter cashflow, and customers with less capacity to spend. But the real story goes beyond rate increases, it’s about the everyday pressures and changing conditions businesses are navigating right now.

Business NSW is conducting a statewide survey to better understand how businesses are being affected. The goal is to build a clear picture of what’s happening on the ground by hearing directly from business owners and managers.

Through the survey, participants can share insights on:

• Cost pressures and day‑to‑day challenges

• Cashflow constraints and operational impacts

• Opportunities or shifts emerging in local markets

• Barriers to growth, including insurance costs, energy prices and regulatory requirements

Your feedback helps inform the broader conversations taking place about business confidence, changing conditions, and the types of support businesses may need next.
