Wade said small businesses “create jobs and strengthen our communities. We must provide these entrepreneurs with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed. Investing in small businesses isn’t just about supporting individual owners; it’s about building a strong and resilient economy that benefits everyone.”
In addition, Brian Mayfield, owner of Techquidation, an NFIB member business in Woodstock, participated in a panel discussion on the challenges facing Georgia’s small business community.
