The following realities of business in the twenty-first century are clear-cut and inescapable, and we ignore them at our peril as a nation and culture. These are the plain and simple reasons why we're so committed to small business survival and prosperity

  • Around 80% of all employers are small businesses.
     
  • Around 50% of all people who are employed work for small businesses.
     
  • Small business creates diversity, choice and stability in local communities. It also creates healthy competition.
     
  • Every dollar that small business brings into a local economy circulates within that community at least 2.7 times, strengthening and expanding that local economy.
     
  • 90% of ALL small businesses fail in the first 10 years. 75% fail in half that time.
     
  • It's estimated that if we can save just 10% of these small businesses from failing we can eliminate unemployment and wipe out foreign debt in just 5 years.
Enough said? (If not, click here for a more detailed explanation — and even more reasons.)
