Small businesses drive the economy
Small businesses may be small in size but that doesn’t mean they don’t make a huge impact on the economy. According to Entrepreneur Magazine, there are between 25-27 million small businesses across the United States that make up 60-80 percent of the U.S. job market. Since there is more creative freedom in small businesses, they apply for 13 times more patents a year than large corporations.
