Businesses need your support.
As of 2019, there were 30.7 million small businesses operating in the United States. The SBA’s Office of Advocacy defines a small business as one with less than 500 employees. 22 million of the small businesses in the United States are individually operated, meaning that they have no other employees other than the owner. COVID-19 has rendered 31% of small businesses in the U.S. currently non-operational.
