Forecast: Boom Coming in Business Startups Midyear 2021
The survey was conducted Jan. 21-26, 2021, in the days after the inauguration, amid news of multiple vaccine options with high efficacy becoming available to millions of Americans. 

Additional highlights:

  • Future business conditions: Respondents were more optimistic, with almost 44.4% believing that, in three months, business conditions will be “better” or “much better” than now, up from 42.6% in December 2020.
  • Access to funding: Some entrepreneurs’ concerns are growing, with those seeing funding “harder or much harder” to obtain rising to 37.6% in January from 29.2% in December.
  • Demographics: 46.3% are currently employed full-time, and a survey record of 22% are current business owners. While Gen-X (41.2%) and Gen-Y (31.8%) are the highest percentage of survey respondents, “Baby Boomers” at 23.5% continued the surge first seen in December as a share of respondents, mostly taking share from the Millennial cohort.

“The pool of entrepreneurial talent has never been stronger, and Baby Boomers are having another boomlet,” says Hunter Stokes, president of FranchiseVentures. “The interest expressed by so many current business owners is encouraging.”
