About the ITRC Business Impact Report
The ITRC, using the SurveyMonkey platform, conducted an online survey to explore the impacts of cybercrimes on small businesses as defined by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The survey was conducted in August 2025, covering the previous 12 months unless otherwise noted in a specific question. The online questionnaire was completed by 662 people selected by SurveyMonkey. The respondents met the criteria of being a small business owner or executive at a company of 500 or fewer employees, including solopreneurs and gig workers. The responses also reflect a wide range of industries with a concentration in financial services, technology, manufacturing and retail entities.
