Small businesses are essential to the fabric of American society, having generated over 70% of the nation's net new jobs since 2019, and are the economic engine of local communities across the country. Americans are embracing entrepreneurship at unprecedented levels with a record 20 million small business applications filed since 2021. The success of new and established Main Street entrepreneurs — who drive innovation, create jobs, and strengthen neighborhoods in every state — is critical to building economic prosperity for all Americans. 

 

SBAF is committed to advancing policies that allow small businesses to reach their fullest potential and maximize their impact on the economy. Outlined below are policy positions that support entrepreneurship and prosperity.

  • Healthcare: Affordability & Accessibility – Supporting Policies that Impact the Drivers of Cost
    • Strengthen and build on the Affordable Care Act
