Las medidas recientes (y propuestas) adoptadas por la administración incluyen el congelamiento de fondos federales, la terminación de muchos contratos federales y la reducción del tamaño del Departamento de Defensa de Estados Unidos. La Administración de Pequeñas Empresas (SBA) puede tener repercusiones en las pequeñas empresas.

To remain competitive, small businesses require a tax code that prioritizes their sustainability and growth, enabling them to make investments in their operations and workforce. However, our nation’s current tax code does not work for Main Street. The tax system favors large corporations over small businesses.
Recent (and proposed) actions taken by the administration, including federal funding freezes, the termination of many federal contracts and the downsizing of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) may have impacts on small businesses. In order to understand how and if these changes are affecting small businesses, we are collecting stories and feedback. If your business has encountered an economic setback due to these actions or if you are feeling optimistic about these policies, we want to hear from you.
Sign this petition to tell Congress: Don't cut programs like premium tax credits, or care economy investments, to pay for tax cuts for large corporations!
Currently the federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA) requires that consumer creditors disclose critical financing information, including annual percentage rate (APR), in a clear and comparable format. However, Congress has yet to extend these disclosure requirements to small business loans and other credit products, which means small businesses are vulnerable to irresponsible lenders. As small businesses recover from the pandemic, it should go without saying that transparent lending shouldn’t be up for debate.
When healthcare and prescription drug costs continue to rise, employers must either absorb those or pass them on to their employees. And with drug prices continuing to rise, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to purchase life saving medications for myself, my employees and their families.
A paid family and medical leave program in Georgia would allow small business owners and their employees to contribute to an insurance pool that would help provide access to paid leave when employees need time to care for their families. At the same time, it would help small businesses compete with larger employers that can afford to offer paid family and medical leave on their own. What’s more, these programs find strong support among the small business community. We urge lawmakers to move forward and pass a paid family and medical leave program in 2025.
