Almost half the jobs in the United States are with small businesses — part of the reason many consider small businesses to be the backbone of the American economy.

Small businesses have had some successes in 2024, too. According to Equifax's Insights blog, as of March 2024, 67 percent of small businesses expect revenue to increase next year and 80 percent have a plan in place if they begin to struggle.

Sadly, less than half (42 percent) of small businesses have the financing they believe they need, according to the same Equifax report.

That's where OceanFirst Bank enters the equation. They've been serving our communities for over 120 years, and they are committed to helping small businesses access the tools they need with benefits and features such as:
