The index measures the volume of financing available to small companies, using January 2005 as its base.
The percentage of borrowing small businesses is up from 79.8 in October to 88.3 in November, the best rate since September 2008.
PayNet also released information revealing that fewer small businesses are behind on loan repayments, which is a positive sign for the economy.

"Everywhere you look at the index, it's very, very positive," he added.
