Celebrating National Small Business Month

Did you know that May is celebrated as National Small Business Month? The SBA was signed into law by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1953 to "aid, counsel, assist and protect, insofar as is possible, the interests of small business concerns." National Small Business Month celebrates Small Businesses which are integral to the framework of commerce in America. Small Businesses support local economies by providing jobs and engaging in grass roots philanthropic efforts. The SBA uses this month, as well as others, to celebrate diverse groups of small business owners throughout the U.S. Entrepreneurs of many different backgrounds and industries can benefit from programs and resources offered by the SBA. Virtual presentations from the 2024 National Small Business Week Virtual Summit may be viewed at sba.gov.
