There are lots of businesses. There are many chains along with local, small businesses. My goal for this project was to inform people the impact that small businesses have on not only the economy but the community of which it resides in. I began my research at my mentorship (J.R. Crider’s). I learned all the things small businesses do to help the local community such as volunteering at local ministries. I also learned of the hardships they experience, sometimes more than larger, corporate businesses do. Along with my personal experiences, I conducted outside research to learn more of the economic impact small businesses have on their community. I’ve learned that one of the hardest parts of a small business is making it through the first year. Small businesses have a positive impact on the economy and make every experience more personal for their customers.
