Payments: Australia delayed a plan to stop the tax office accepting credit-card payments until June 2027 after small businesses objected to the short transition period.

SBA Lending: Small Business Administration 7(a) lending fell to 56,130 loans worth $32.4 billion in fiscal 2026, with stricter credit rules continuing into the new year. Construction Disruption: New York City legislation would create a fund to help small retailers hurt by roadway construction. Funding: North Carolina is offering $2 million to support innovative small businesses. Malaysia’s Budget: The 2027 plan puts strengthening local enterprises among its priorities.
