Last update: 5 hours ago

Regional Funding: FedNor announced nearly C$5 million for five projects supporting small businesses and economic development in Northern Ontario. A separate £4.5 million plan aims to help businesses grow, innovate and create jobs in Fermanagh and Omagh. Credit Access: India’s Account Aggregator network facilitated ₹3.82 lakh crore in lending in FY26, with participating lenders reaching more first-time borrowers, including small-business borrowers. Policy Pressure: Proposed Australian trust-tax changes are facing backlash from small businesses, while uncertainty over costs and hiring continues to weigh on US small-business optimism. Cybersecurity: Experts warn that more than half of US small businesses have faced cyberattacks, underscoring the risks for firms with limited resources to protect themselves.
