Small Business Boom and Economic Comeback

For the rest of the world hit by the coronavirus pandemic, many economies near death with hundreds of thousands of business closures and tens of millions made redundant. However, the next light at the end of the tunnel in this hopelessness exists for small businesses to benefit from. Small businesses have long since been the lifeblood of economies and are even more so during economic recovery.

Large corporations have had trouble adapting to the trials of COVID, while many smaller businesses are finding themselves extremely creative and agile. Small businesses from restaurants offering takeout and delivery service to e-commerce platforms boosting online sales have demonstrated their agility in response.

In USA, When it comes to a businesses impact, the numbers are skewed towards small businesses making a larger contribution, as half of private sector workers in the U.S. go to work every day for a small business. With the pandemic catalyzing entrepreneurship, that job is going to expand even more. An especially prime time to launch a small business the local Americans have been discovering. In this note, we examine the role of small businesses and entrepreneurs in the post-COVID U.S. economic expansion.

The tidal wave of small businesses in our economy has been helped by strong government and community support. As an example, the US federal government generated the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for financial assistance available to small & medium businesses who are suffering from COVID-19. The program has been a lifeline for countless small business proprietor, permitting them to get by and running the operation.

The consumer has also been pivotal in the small business explosion, as government support alone could not have created these conditions. People have become far more aware of their purchasing power and there has been a big swing to people supporting the local business. Unfortunately, it has also led to maintenance of the pool at these monumental levels and drive increased sales for small businesses in nearly all sectors from retail to hospitality through services.

An additional factor that is helping to create the growth in small & medium businesses is entrepreneurship. In the aftermath of the pandemic, when people have been compelled to reconsider their career and livelihood options; enterpriser has emerged as a beacon in darkness for many. This new business activity has resulted in the formation of hundreds of thousands of small businesses nationwide and a boost for local economies.

And the story of record small business formation isn't just a feel good one--it's actually helping to buoy this economic recovery. Small business provide the bulk of new jobs in this country, about 63%. The gains are encouraging of the improving job market and heighten in buyer spending, which accounts for almost 70 percent of the economy.

In addition to the revenue they bring in, small businesses enliven communities. They are responsible for the local economy, fostering a sense of identity and personality while creating social capital. As these small businesses grow local communities are stronger and in turn more robust as a whole society.

The boom of small businesses heading onward will drive much of the economic recovery that takes place as we look forward to a post-pandemic world. However, supporting small businesses in ways more than one is important to keep this momentum going. Small businesses will require further financial support and loosening of the bureaucracy from governments to make it through what promises to be a difficult period. If we want successful small business and independent retail, consumers have to keep their part in supporting them.

But small business owners — those pioneers of taking incredible financial risks to build something from nothing—to stay both in-to-be-small-business and around, will always need to be adapting, amping up or rolling out new goods. That could require investing in certain technologies, forego existing revenue channels entirely or even rethink their entire business model. This flexibility and preparation will allow small businesses that remain agile to weather the storm in the near term and position themselves for long-term success.

The small business boom is a ray of hope in an uncertain world and we have every reason to be excited about what it means for one another. Small businesses continue to drive the economic rebound, demonstrating remarkable lockdown resistance and innovation — with big lessons for a new dawn. A continued support of small businesses and an entrepreneurial ecosystem will result in a more robust, battle tested economy for years to come.
