The Agenda for California’s Entrepreneurs

Small Business Majority has created a comprehensive state policy agenda to ensure entrepreneurship is recognized as the lifeforce of a thriving and inclusive economy in California. The state’s 4.2 million small businesses comprise 99.9% of all businesses in the state, and they employ 7 million residents–nearly half of all California employees. This is why it’s critical that state lawmakers enact and strengthen policies and programs to support and empower these entrepreneurs, guaranteeing they have access to responsible capital to start and grow their business, access to affordable and quality healthcare and benefits that allow small business owners to compete on a level playing field with larger companies for top talent.
