H&R Block\u2019s Block Advisors \u201cSmall Business Resilience Series\u201d study reveals both challenges and optimism as small businesses come back from pandemic setbacks<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (March 15, 2022)<\/strong> \u2013 New research from Block Advisors, a part of H&R Block (NYSE: HRB), found that the three biggest challenges businesses expect to face this year are inflation\/rising cost of goods (78%), cutting expenses (55%), and supply chain disruptions (54%) based on a survey by H&R Block of 1,100 Block Advisors customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSmall business owners continue to weather the storm, but hope is on the horizon,\u201d said Jamil Khan, Chief Strategy and Small Business Officer at H&R Block. \u201cSmall business owners have made strategic pivots to ensure they are able to continue operations during ongoing pandemic-induced uncertainty. Block Advisors is proud to serve as an important partner as small business owners work not only to survive, but to thrive, in this environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with this challenging backdrop, more than half of all small business owners (59%) are proud of their resilience as they face new challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, recent data from the \u201cSmall Business Resilience Series\u201d study of 1,100 small business owners notes that while a majority of small business owners believe that the pandemic has had a moderate or large negative impact on their business, most (70%) are not concerned about their business closing\/ceasing operations in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
