Background

Small businesses refer to privately-owned corporations, partnerships, or sole proprietorships that have few employees and/or low annual revenue streams. They contribute to the unique character and identity of local communities, from family-owned shops to local restaurants and service providers.

Small businesses have an impact on job creation, economic health, and community identity. Voters may evaluate policies based on their stance towards small businesses, such as taxation, access to loans and capital, regulatory burdens, and initiatives that support entrepreneurship and business growth.
