Small Businesses: The Backbone of the Economy (and How to Win!)
In a recent episode of Small and Thriving, we delved into the concept of small businesses being the backbone of the economy. It's a phrase often heard but not always fully understood. Join me as we break down why small businesses matter and how you, as a small business owner, can thrive in today's economic landscape.
Defining the Backbone: What is a Small Business?
The term "small business" encompasses a vast array of enterprises, ranging from sole proprietorships to small corporations. These businesses typically have fewer employees and lower annual revenue compared to larger corporations. In Canada alone, small businesses make up a staggering 98% of all businesses, highlighting their significant role in the economy.
Why Small Businesses Matter
Small businesses play a pivotal role in driving economic growth and creating employment opportunities. They are often the lifeblood of local communities, contributing to their vibrancy and diversity. When small businesses succeed, they not only bolster the economy but also improve the quality of life for individuals and families.
