Small business owner take: “Immediately we’ve been able to develop and grow our structure of our team. We’ve been able to provide jobs, we’ve been able to use that [20% Small Business Deduction] to purchase our building. So not only have we been able to develop a little bit of an economy for people, we’ve been able to revitalize not just our economy here but our buildings in our own Main Street. So, we’re buying buildings with it, we’re refurbishing the buildings, and providing better spaces for other entrepreneurs to start a business in our small town,” explained NFIB member Michael Ervin.
