Support Missouri’s Small Businesses During Small Business Week and Beyond!

This week is the Small Business Administration’s ‘Small Business Week’ – an opportunity to recognize the tremendous contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and job creators. According to the Missouri Department of Labor, 94 percent of Missouri establishments are considered small businesses. To mark the occasion, NFIB State Director Brad Jones said: “As the backbone of the Show Me State’s economy, our small business owners provide numerous opportunities for hardworking Missourians. But times are tough – as our mom-and-pop shops face crushing inflation and the worker shortage. This week is an important reminder to support small businesses not just today, but every day.”
