Despite a difficult month, Business NSW CEO Stephen Cartwright says there's a sense of optimism among New South Wales businesses.

A poll by business NSW found almost three quarters of small business owners believed their operations would survive the COVID-19 crisis.

"You remember when we first went into this in the middle of March, everybody was preparing for a six month lockdown and there was even discussion it could be longer, so there was a lot of fear and cocnern, particularly for businesses which were compeltely closed," Mr Cartwright told Sky News.

"Because of the fantastic behaviour of the Australian peopel, where we've been able to see the curve flatten, and the huge ramp up in testing, all of those things are showing we could get an early mark.

"So for business people, that's a cause for optimism."
