One-third of small business owners cut their income to offset costs, yet 88% remain motivated by their original dream.

A KeyBank survey reveals that 33% of small business owners have reduced their own income to manage rising costs without raising prices for customers. Despite inflation pressures, 88% remain motivated by the original dream that started their business, with many achieving multiple successes like stable pricing, improved efficiency, and revenue growth. Financially, more owners are rebuilding cash reserves and paying down debt, with fewer in survival mode and more investing for long-term growth. This resilience highlights the critical role small businesses play in the economy and community.
