Investing in small businesses can have a positive impact on local communities and promote a more equitable society. By supporting small businesses, you can help create jobs, generate economic growth from the ground up, and foster innovation. According to the Small Business Administration, small businesses create two out of three new jobs in the United States, and they are responsible for 44% of economic activity. Moreover, supporting small businesses owned by people of color, women, and other underrepresented groups can help promote greater equity in society. A study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that lending to minority-owned small businesses led to a significant increase in employment and income in minority communities. By investing in small businesses, we can help create a stronger, more inclusive economy that benefits everyone.
