NEW YORK — Small business owners are getting more optimistic about their companies, according to two surveys released Tuesday.
Improving company finances helped lift owners optimism in a survey conducted in early April by Wells Fargo & Co. and Gallup. The Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index rose 7 points to 16 from 9 in January and from minus-11 in November. The index is still down from 23 in April 2012.
