Why are small businesses so important? Small businesses are important because they provide opportunities for entrepreneurs and create meaningful jobs with greater job satisfaction than positions with larger, traditional companies. They foster local economies, allow more job opportunities, staff people, keeping money close to home and supporting neighbourhoods and communities. Small business owners are an important part of the communities in which they live and work. Local small business tend to be involved in the community. They might sponsor little league teams, donate to the citys homeless shelter or food drives, participate in community charity events and more.
Local Jobs! Small businesses are job creators, and most of those jobs are local jobs. Rather than having to commute to another city, employees work closer to home. Supporting local businesses also helps your fellow community members who work at them. When a community has a vibrant commercial centre, it also creates ample opportunities for these workers to shop at other local small businesses.
