Small Business Saturday is just around the corner! The special day, celebrated this year on Saturday, November 30, shines a spotlight on small businesses and their vital contributions to our local economy. Whether you’re a local retail shop, service provider, or entrepreneur, Small Business Saturday is your time to attract customers and showcase the value you bring to the community.
Did you know that small businesses make up 99.9% of all U.S. businesses? As the backbone of the American economy, they play a crucial role in driving growth and innovation. Small businesses create two out of every three new jobs, fostering local employment and development.
