Sunday, April 29, kicked off National Small Business Week. The U.S. Small Business Administration has been honoring small businesses since 1963. From Sunday, April 29 through Saturday, May 5, the SBA will be livestreaming award ceremonies along with announcing the National Small Business Person of the Year. According to the SBA, more than half of Americans own or work for a small business. Small businesses also create two out of every three jobs. This is even more evident in North Dakota and Minnesota where small businesses are the backbone of the economies. Small businesses are the reason Kennelly Business Law was formed.
