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

Optimism for a Brighter Tomorrow<\/h2>\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

Help for Small Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Block Advisors is a resource for small business taxes, bookkeeping, and payroll and is proud to support more than 2 million small business with taxes each year through thousands of small business-certified tax pros across its 8,000 offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many small businesses are not tapping into the resources they need. According to the survey, most businesses perform their own bookkeeping (58.8%), and do not use payroll software\/services (61.3%). Block Advisors is built for small business and here to help with year-round small business success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
