WA still confident

WA’S small business sector is still leading the nation in its confidence about the next twelve months, the latest Small Business Index has found.

The survey found 62 per cent of WA small business owners were confident about pros-pects for the next year.

Although the figure was down 4 per cent from the previous quarter, it was still ahead of the 55 per cent national average.

The positive WA outlook was achieved despite a slight drop in sales and a positive but flat profit result.
