Celebrate Small Business Week with Opportunity for Small Business from SBTV.com, Sam's Club & NFIB
A slowing economy, lending crisis, and rising prices, have been unnerving. But there is some good news about the U-S economy: small business! The entrepreneurial spirit of America is robust and strong with small business representing more than 99% of all employers according to latest federal research. So it is no surprise, small firms are creating the bulk of the new jobs in this country. In fact, small business produces roughly half of the private Gross Domestic Product and created more jobs last year than medium and large-sized businesses combined! If American small businesses were a separate economy, it would be the world's third-largest, trailing only the U.S. as a whole and Japan! Small business creates 80 percent of all new jobs in America and that it is why these small businesses are a bright spot in the U-S economy. Small business has generated sixty to eighty percent of net new jobs annually over the last decade. A national observance is coming up in a few days to celebrate small firms and bringing a great opportunity for entrepreneurs. It is National Small Business Week.
These entrepreneurs who are willing to take risks and work hard--- have a chance to win a $100,000 makeover complements of SBTV.com, Sam's Club and The National Federation of Independent Business during Small Business Week, April 21-25. The makeover includes up to $25,000 in cash, merchandise and supplies from Sam's Club, mentoring from SBTV.com experts, and a lifetime membership to NFIB, as well as a trip to Washington DC for NFIB's Small Business Summit June 8-11th.
