Access to quality benefits like affordable healthcare and childcare is critical for ensuring small businesses can attract and retain a competitive and skilled workforce. Two recent Small Business Majority opinion polls underscore the importance of both benefits. Our data shows that most small business owners report their costs for insurance premiums, deductibles, copays, prescription drug copays and hospital visits have risen over the past few years. Access to childcare has also become a challenge for entrepreneurs; our research also shows that a lack of access to affordable childcare has put a significant burden on working parents and has impeded the ability of small businesses to retain a skilled workforce.

Please join Small Business Majority for a special briefing with the White House Chair of the Domestic Policy Council and Domestic Policy Advisor to the President, Neera Tanden to learn more about steps the Biden-Harris administration is taking to help small businesses remain competitive in today’s economy.

Since its inception more than 70 years ago, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has helped millions of small businesses across the country access the capital and resources needed to thrive and grow. With so much emerging technology, historic numbers of new business applications being filed, and rates of minority and women-owned businesses skyrocketing, it is critical that SBA continues to meet the ever-evolving needs of small businesses. During this briefing, please join Small Business Majority and the Deputy Administrator of the SBA, Dilawar Syed, for a discussion about how SBA continues to evolve and improve its lending, technical assistance and entrepreneurial development programs to meet the needs of today’s modern entrepreneurs. The conversation will be followed by an opportunity for small business owners to ask questions to the Deputy Administrator and engage in meaningful discussion on the impact of the SBA.
