"To determine the best ways to help small businesses regain their position as our country’s No. 1 job generators, we asked them what their biggest problems were and how key issues impacting small businesses should be handled." - John Arensmeyer

Small Business Majority, a national nonpartisan small business advocacy organization, conducts extensive outreach and advocacy work that is anchored in opinion polling and economic research. We work with small business owners, policy experts and elected officials nationwide to bring small business voices to the public policy table.
In February, Small Business Majority released opinion polling with advocacy groups Main Street Alliance and the American Sustainable Business Council that garnered significant media attention, calling attention to key small business issues including their lack of access to credit, regulations, taxes and how they view money’s role in politics.
John Arensmeyer, founder and CEO of Small Business Majority, said: “The economy is still suffering. Job growth is nonexistent, demand for services is weak, sales are slow and consumer confidence is feeble. There is a path out of this economic quagmire, and it runs down the Main Streets of America. To determine the best ways to help small businesses regain their position as our country’s No. 1 job generators, we asked them what their biggest problems were and how key issues impacting small businesses should be handled. Top media outlets around the country covered the poll, making small businesses’ voices heard far and wide.”
