Reasons to Love Your Business
Running your own business is hard work.
Sometimes it’s nice to remember that your hard work creates a lot of ancillary benefits, not the least of which is the collective contribution of small businesses to the economy.
The SBA posted a Valentine’s message a few days ago Ten Reasons to Love Small Business that touches on some of these. (via ACCAbuzz)
A couple of my favs:
- Small businesses make up 99.7 percent of all United States employers.
- Small patenting firms produce 13 to 14 times more patents per employee than large patenting firms.
- Home-based businesses account for 53 percent of all small businesses.
- Small businesses are 97 percent of America’s exporters and produce 26 percent of all export value.
- The latest figures show that small business creates 65 percent or more of America’s net new jobs.
Let’s keep the economy humming!
