Why National Small Business Day is Important
Small businesses create jobs
Small businesses provide job opportunities for people in their local communities. They also often employ the elderly, disabled and veterans at a higher rate than larger corporations. By celebrating National Small Business Day, we are supporting those vital economic contributors and celebrating our community.
Small businesses contribute to the local economy
Money spent at small businesses tends to stay in the local community. This helps stimulate economic growth by keeping capital within the local area and creating a better standard of living for everyone. Additionally, small businesses help attract new customers from other towns or cities, bringing in even more revenue to the region overall.
Small businesses bring vibrancy to our neighborhoods
Small businesses create a unique character for each neighborhood. Whether it's that quaint family owned restaurant or the corner store you always shop at, each small business brings its own charm and energy which can be felt throughout a community. Celebrating their success on National Small Business Day is one way to express appreciation for all they do for us.
