Happy National Small Business Week. Recovery, Adaptation and Innovation



President Donald J. Trump has proclaimed September 20 through September 26, 2020, as National Small Business Week. "During National Small Business Week, we celebrate the resolve and ingenuity of American businesses, entrepreneurs, and workers. Americas small businesses are at the very core of our Nations identity and prosperity, and this week we pay tribute to these patriots for their contributions to our Nations economy and culture.

This year, as we collectively recover from an unprecedented pandemic, my Administration remains intensely focused on helping every American enterprise remain viable, recover, and once again, thrive at historic levels. Our Nations more than 30million small businesses, which employ nearly half the private-sector workforce and create two-thirds of all net new jobs, are the key to propelling our economy to the prosperity levels America has enjoyed over the past 3 years. That is why, as part of our extraordinary, whole-of-government economic response to the coronavirus, we have placed the small business sector front and center. We have delivered nearly three quarters of a trillion dollars in timely, economic relief to distressed small business entrepreneurs and their employees throughout the country, including $525billion in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, $190billion in COVID19 Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL), $20billion inEIDL Advance grants, and additional healthcare funding."

Resilient and strong, small businesses take center stage this week

*By SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza*

In celebration of our American ideal that anyone, from anywhere in our great nation, can grow an idea and start a business, we kick off National Small Business Week. This year, as we all continue to navigate the economic impact and recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, the Trump Administration remains intensely focused on helping every American entrepreneur remain viable, recover, and once again, thrive at historic levels.

As part of our extraordinary, whole-of government economic response to the coronavirus, this Administration has placed the small business sector front and center. We have delivered nearly three-quarters of a trillion dollars in timely, economic relief to millions of distressed small business enterprises and their employees.

I am confident our nations more than 30 million small businesses, which employ nearly half the private-sector workforce and create two-thirds of all net new jobs, will once again propel our economy to the prosperity America has enjoyed the previous three years.
