Xero data shows Aussie small business sales and jobs growth hits two-year high

Xero’s latest Small Business Insights data shows Australian small businesses ended 2025 with their strongest sales and jobs growth in two years, with sales up 6.7% year on year in the December quarter and employment up 3.4%. Payment times improved to a record-fast 23.9 days on average, though invoices were still paid about 6.6 days late. Xero warned the momentum could be tested by the RBA’s February interest rate increase, while construction, health care and real estate led sales growth and retail and hospitality lagged.
