After 11 consecutive rate hikes, the Federal Reserve has reduced the federal funds target rate by half a percentage point, setting it between 4.75% and 5%. This move is expected to lead to lower interest rates on financial products like business loans, credit cards and lines of credit, creating potential savings for small business owners, according to a Nav article. With lower borrowing costs, businesses may see improved cash flow and can consider refinancing existing debt or securing better loan terms to support future growth.
