Small businesses not only provide jobs for more than 50% of the Iowa workforce and more than 64% of the workforce nationwide, but over the last decade small businesses have demonstrated a proven track record of substantial and consistent economic contributions.
These grants will cover business related expenses including, but not limited to, rent, utilities, insurance, delivery services, and technology.
While the state and the federal government have allotted some resources towards small businesses, we are coming to the realization that those resources are simply not enough. The latest SBA data states there are more than 50,000 businesses employing 1 to 20 employees, statewide; more than 40,000 employing 1-4.
The most recent Small business Administration (SBA) data, published in 2019 reports small businesses created 9,470 new jobs in 2016. Firms employing fewer than 20 employees experienced the largest gains, adding 8,226 jobs (87%), a thirty percent increase from 2015.
