Bank of America’s 2025 Business Owner Report confirmed what we see every day from entrepreneurs across our communities here in Metro Detroit: cautious yet determined optimism. Nearly three in four business owners expect revenue gains in the next 12 months, and many plan to expand (59%), hire (43%) and secure financing (83%). 

These findings suggest practical steps business owners can take now to position their business for success in the year ahead. 

Invest in the right digital tools

Innovation remains a reliable path for efficiency and growth. Nearly all (91%) business owners plan to adopt digital tools over the next five years, with 52% aiming to accept more forms of digital payments and 50% planning to implement AI. 

Many businesses have already made progress: 77% integrated AI over the past five years, using it for marketing (50%), content production (38%), customer service (37%) and inventory management (28%). 

Building on that momentum, owners are modernizing payments to reduce friction at checkout and accelerate cash conversion, adding options such as Zelle, Venmo and Apple Pay to meet customer preferences.

New tools can also help business owners digitize repetitive workflows, such as scheduling, invoicing, and inventory alerts, freeing staff time for higher-value contributions. This can be particularly helpful for companies impacted by labor shortages (61%). As digital capabilities expand, businesses are also planning to increase cybersecurity measures (30%), strengthening authentication and data protection to preserve trust alongside growth.

Leverage community engagement around local events

Community engagement can help businesses grow and attract new customers. More than half of business owners (58%) have modified their operations around major events such as sports events, concerts and festivals by introducing targeted promotions, social content, themed campaigns and sponsorships. The approach has paid off: approximately half reported increased sales (51%), and nearly half saw growth on social media (47%). Roughly four in five plan to repeat these efforts in the future. 

The wider halo effect from live events is substantial. For example, the Detroit Auto Show brought an estimated $370 million economic boost to Detroit’s economy in 2025. Overall, the Detroit Auto Show has brought roughly $5 billion in economic activity to the region over the past two decades, through spending on local hotels, restaurants, retail stores, transportation and more. Whether it’s a large event like the auto show, or a smaller festival in Southwest Detroit, local businesses can set measurable goals around event days, aligning staffing and hours and pairing in-person activations with digital calls to action to extend reach.

Another major driver of local economic growth is the new Michigan Central Station, a 30-acre technology and cultural hub in the former Michigan Central Railroad Depot that’s turning Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood into a major economic hub, attracting more than 2,000 workers so far, with more to come, prompting millions in neighborhood housing investments. Developments like Michigan Central benefit the surrounding community, allowing workers and residents to support local businesses in the city, including Southwest Detroit businesses a few miles away.

Manage cash flow with discipline

Disciplined cash flow management is critical for business owners, especially heading into 2026, when inflation (70%) and interest rates (58%) are top concerns. Most entrepreneurs (88%) report inflation impacting their businesses, prompting many to raise prices (64%) and scrutinize cash flow and spending plans (39%). Concurrently, 75% are facing supply chain pressures, leading to price adjustments (52%) and sourcing challenges (32%).

In response, business owners are proactively adjusting their financial strategies. This includes reevaluating cash flow projections, optimizing spending and exploring local sourcing options to build more resilient supply chains. Beyond these operational adjustments, a disciplined focus on liquidity is key. Owners should also engage with their bankers to review existing loan structures, ensuring they align with current cash flow profiles and the interest rate environment.

Plan for financing and succession

Demand for capital continues to underpin long-term operational health. 83% of business owners intend to obtain financing within the next 12 months, with business credit cards (53%) playing a key role, alongside personal savings (41%), traditional bank loans (32%) and personal credit cards (29%). Financing plans are informed by factors including expected growth, hiring and retaining staff and ongoing investments in digital tools.

Succession planning also remains a critical component of long-term planning, yet 40% of business owners have not prepared one. They can begin by identifying potential successors, outlining governance and core processes and tracking value drivers, such as margins and recurring revenue. Advisory teams, including bankers, CPAs and attorneys, can help, especially when engaged early in the process.

Turning optimism into action

Findings from the 2025 report signal that business owners are entering 2026 focused on steady growth, practical decision making and a readiness to invest where it matters. They are embracing digital tools and AI to remove friction for customers and streamline operations, engaging strategically with local events, tightening cash flow disciplines amid persistent cost and supply pressures, and taking a longer view on capital and succession to protect hard-won value.

One of the biggest challenges faced by small businesses across Detroit is securing the capital needed to fuel their growth and success. As the number one  small business lender in the United States, Bank of America works directly with clients, providing personalized guidance to help them navigate current opportunities and strategically leverage available resources for capital access. Beyond one-on-one support, our robust financial education tools, such as the resources found on our Better Money Habits website, also helps empower business owners with the knowledge to optimize their financial health and unlock funding.

In Detroit, our Bank of America team is finding that the Business Owner Report’s findings resonate with optimistic local business owners in 2026. As they focus on steady progress, they can look forward to proactively connect with their trusted banking partners to help plan their next steps toward growth and expansion.

Optimismo con determinación: cómo están creciendo las pequeñas y medianas empresas de Detroit en 2026

El Informe de Propietarios de Negocios de 2025 de Bank of America confirmó lo que vemos a diario en los empresarios de nuestras comunidades aquí en Detroit: optimismo con precaución, pero con determinación. Cerca de tres de cada cuatro propietarios de empresas esperan un aumento de ingresos en los próximos 12 meses, y muchos prevén expandirse (59%), contratar personal (43%) y obtener financiamiento (83%).

Estos resultados sugieren pasos prácticos que los empresarios pueden empezar a dar para dirigir su negocio hacia el éxito el próximo año.

Invertir en las herramientas digitales adecuadas

La innovación sigue siendo un camino confiable hacia la eficiencia y el crecimiento. Casi todos los dueños de empresas (91%) anticipan adoptar herramientas digitales en los próximos cinco años; el 52% tiene el objetivo de aceptar más formas de pago digital y el 50% planea implementar inteligencia artificial (IA).

Ya se ve el progreso en muchas empresas: el 77% integró IA en los últimos cinco años, utilizándola para marketing (50%), producción de contenido (38%), atención al cliente (37%) y gestión de inventario (28%).

Aprovechando este impulso, los propietarios de empresas están modernizando los pagos para reducir las dificultades durante el proceso de pago y acelerar la conversión de efectivo, agregando opciones como Zelle, Venmo y Apple Pay para atender las preferencias de los clientes. Otros están probando casos de uso específicos de IA, como la automatización de consultas rutinarias de clientes y la creación de descripciones de productos.

Las nuevas herramientas también pueden ayudar a los propietarios de empresas a digitalizar procesos de trabajo repetitivos, como la organización del tiempo, la facturación y las alertas de inventario, liberando tiempo del personal para invertirlo en tareas más importantes. Esto puede ser especialmente útil para las empresas afectadas por la escasez de mano de obra (61%). A medida que se expanden las capacidades digitales, las empresas también planean aumentar las medidas de ciberseguridad (30%), reforzando la autenticación y la protección de datos para preservar la confianza junto con el crecimiento.

Aprovechar la participación de la comunidad en eventos locales

La participación en la comunidad puede ayudar a las empresas a crecer y atraer nuevos clientes. Más de la mitad de los empresarios (58%) ha modificado sus operaciones en torno a eventos importantes como partidos deportivos, conciertos y festivales, presentando promociones específicas, contenido social, campañas temáticas y patrocinios. El enfoque ha sido fructífero, ya que aproximadamente la mitad destacó un aumento en las ventas (51%) y casi la mitad observó un crecimiento en las redes sociales (47%). Alrededor de cuatro de cada cinco contemplan volver a implementar estas iniciativas en el futuro.

El efecto de halo más amplio de los eventos en vivo es considerable. Por ejemplo, en 2025, el Salón del Automóvil de Detroit generó un crecimiento económico de cerca de $370,000,000 a la economía de Detroit. En general, el Salón del Automóvil de Detroit ha aportado a la región aproximadamente $5,000,000,000 en actividad económica durante las últimas dos décadas, por gastos en negocios locales como hoteles, restaurantes, tiendas minoristas y transporte, entre otros. Si se trata de un gran evento como el salón del automóvil, o de un festival más pequeño en el suroeste de Detroit, los negocios locales pueden establecer metas cuantificables en torno a los días del evento, ajustando la dotación de personal y los horarios, y combinando las activaciones presenciales con llamadas a la acción digitales para ampliar el alcance.

Otro importante motor del crecimiento económico local es la nueva Michigan Central Station, un centro tecnológico y cultural de 30 acres ubicado en la antigua estación ferroviaria Michigan Central Railroad Depot, que está convirtiendo el vecindario de Corktown, Detroit, en un importante centro económico, atrayendo hasta ahora a más de 2,000 trabajadores, y con más por venir, lo que ha impulsado inversiones millonarias en viviendas en el área. Los desarrollos como Michigan Central benefician a la comunidad de los alrededores, ya que permiten a los trabajadores y residentes apoyar a los negocios locales de la ciudad, incluidos los del suroeste de Detroit, ubicados a unas cuantas millas.

Administrar el flujo de caja de manera disciplinada

Gestionar el flujo de caja con disciplina es fundamental para los dueños de empresas, especialmente al acercarnos al 2026, cuando la inflación (70%) y las tasas de interés (58%) son las principales preocupaciones. La mayoría de los empresarios (88%) informan que la inflación está afectando a sus empresas, lo que lleva a muchos a aumentar los precios (64%) y a analizar minuciosamente el flujo de caja y los planes de gastos (39%). Al mismo tiempo, el 75% se enfrenta a la presión de la cadena de suministro, lo que genera ajustes de precios (52%) y dificultades de abastecimiento (32%).

En respuesta, los propietarios de empresas están ajustando proactivamente sus estrategias financieras. Esto incluye reevaluar las proyecciones de flujo de caja, optimizar el gasto y explorar opciones de abastecimiento local para construir cadenas de suministro más resilientes. Más allá de estos ajustes operativos, es primordial tener un enfoque disciplinado en la liquidez. Los propietarios de empresas también deben trabajar con sus banqueros para revisar las estructuras de préstamos existentes, asegurándose de que se ajusten a los perfiles actuales de flujo de caja y al entorno de las tasas de interés.

Planificar el financiamiento y la sucesión

La demanda de capital sigue siendo la base de la salud operativa a largo plazo. El 83 % de los dueños de empresas tiene la intención de obtener financiamiento en los próximos 12 meses, y las tarjetas de crédito comerciales (53%) desempeñan un papel fundamental, junto con los ahorros personales (41%), los préstamos bancarios tradicionales (32%) y las tarjetas de crédito personales (29%). Los planes de financiamiento se basan en factores como el crecimiento previsto, la contratación y retención de personal y las inversiones continuas en herramientas digitales.

El plan de sucesión también sigue siendo un componente fundamental de la planificación a largo plazo; sin embargo, el 40% de los empresarios aún no ha establecido uno. Pueden comenzar identificando a los posibles sucesores, definiendo el esquema y los procesos centrales, y haciendo un seguimiento de los factores que generan valor, como los márgenes y los ingresos recurrentes. Los equipos de asesoría, que incluyen banqueros, contadores públicos y abogados, pueden ayudar, especialmente si se consideran en las primeras etapas del proceso.

Convertir el optimismo en acción

Los resultados del informe de 2025 indican que los propietarios de empresas llegan al 2026 centrados en un crecimiento sólido, en la toma de decisiones prácticas y en la disposición a invertir en lo que es importante. Están adoptando herramientas digitales e IA para eliminar las fricciones con los clientes y optimizar las operaciones, participando estratégicamente en eventos locales, reforzando las disciplinas de flujo de caja ante las persistentes presiones de costos y suministros, y adoptando una visión a largo plazo del capital y la sucesión para proteger el valor ganado con tanto esfuerzo.

Uno de los mayores retos a los que se enfrentan las pequeñas empresas de Detroit es obtener el capital necesario para impulsar su crecimiento y su éxito. Como principal prestamista para pequeñas empresas en Estados Unidos, Bank of America trabaja directamente con los clientes, proporcionándoles orientación personalizada para ayudarles a explorar las oportunidades actuales y a utilizar estratégicamente los recursos disponibles para acceder al capital. Más allá del apoyo personalizado, nuestras sólidas herramientas de educación financiera, como los recursos que se encuentran en nuestro sitio web Mejores Hábitos Financieros, también ayudan a empoderar a los propietarios de empresas, proporcionándoles los conocimientos necesarios para optimizar su salud financiera y para obtener financiamiento.

En Detroit, nuestro equipo de Bank of America ha descubierto que los resultados del Informe de Propietarios de Negocios han sido bien recibidos por los propietarios de empresas locales que se muestran optimistas en 2026. Al centrarse en un progreso constante, pueden esperar conectar de manera proactiva con sus socios bancarios de confianza para ayudarles a planificar sus próximos pasos hacia el crecimiento y la expansión.
