Small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy, and this is especially true in New York State where they continue to face challenging tax conditions. The impact of COVID-19 has only made things worse for these businesses, making it even more difficult for them to survive. However, there are steps that can be taken to support small businesses and improve the economic climate.

One way to help small businesses is by supporting them through government action. Governments can provide tax incentives and grants to help small businesses stay afloat during tough times. Additionally, individuals can make a difference by supporting local small businesses in their own communities. Many small stores and shops offer unique and meaningful gifts that cannot be found elsewhere. By shopping at these local businesses, we can show our appreciation for their efforts and help them thrive.

Another way to support small businesses is through events like “Small Business Saturday.” This nationwide event takes place on Saturday, November 25th and aims to encourage people to shop at local small businesses. By participating in this event and shopping at local small businesses, we can all make a difference for the businesses that are so crucial to the economy.
