  Since 1963, the President of the United States has declared National Small Business Week to recognize small businesses as the job creators, builders, and innovators of America’s economy. This year, small businesses are benefitting from a host of new pro-growth incentives introduced as part of the America First agenda – including historic deregulation, fair trade, and Working Family Tax Cuts that have already restored opportunity and investment on Main Street.

The SBA’s recognition of National Small Business Week begins with a National Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C. on May 3rd and continues throughout the week both online through the Virtual Summit and in-person through a nationwide tour to Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.
