Newsweek Publishes Recent Poll Results In Multi-Media Feature

MULTI-MEDIA NEWS COVERAGE | DATA INSIGHTS | RENT & REVENUE POLL: Newsweek ran a full article focused on Alignable's April Revenue & Rent Report, which showed that 43% of small business owners who rent were unable to pay what they owe on time and in full. 

That's the highest rent delinquency rate since March 2021, when the country was still in the midst of COVID restrictions. Special thanks go out to Giulia Carbonaro, who wrote the story. 

Here are the first few paragraphs of the article, along a screen capture of the video Newsweek created to accompany the online feature. 

A significant number of small businesses across the nation are struggling to pay rent due to skyrocketing costs, a recent study by business networking platform Alignable found.

The company's latest Small Business Rent report, published on Friday, found that 43 percent of small business renters in the U.S. were unable to pay their rent in full and on time in the month of April. 

Such a high delinquency rate hasn't been reported in the U.S. since March 2021, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when it reached 49 percent.

The delinquency rate was also four percentage points higher than in March, making it the largest month-over-month surge in over a year, according to data analyzed by Alignable.
