Summary: Small businesses have a big impact on their local communities. This National Small Business Week, celebrated the first week of May, find out how AmTrust helps protect the dreams of small business owners every day. All small businesses start with a vision and a dream. Small business owners dream to spend their lives doing what they’re most passionate about, achieving their goals and succeeding on every level. And with that passion, hard work and a little risk, small business owners wake up and live their dreams every day.
The Impact Small Businesses Have on the Local Community
Small businesses play a huge role in the U.S. economy, accounting for
99.9% of all businesses in the country. The
Small Business Administration (SBA) reports that between March 2020 and March 2021, the high time of the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, small businesses in the U.S. lost a total of 3 million jobs. However, as the country reopened, small businesses faced an array of challenges from inflation to supply chain issues to
labor shortages, and many are still facing these challenges today.
It's more important than ever to recognize the impace small businesses have on the local community. They not only employ millions of people, but they keep money in the community and increase the value of local real estate. They fuel innovation and provide more diverse products, as many offer unique items or services you can’t find from a big box outlet. Plus, customer service is always top of mind for small businesses, as owners understand the importance of building relationships with their community. Small business owners often “pay it forward,” too, utilizing other local vendors for the supporting services they may need.
Celebrating Small Businesses During National Small Business Week
The SBA created
National Small Business Week over 50 years ago to recognize the country's small businesses and their significant contributions to their communities. During National Small Business week, the SBA recognizes the hard work and ingenuity of America's small businesses and celebrates their contributions to the economy.
