"@POTUS claims to be a champion for small businesses, but today he turned his back on franchising, a business model that’s done more to put countless Americans into small business ownership, particular for traditionally underrepresented minorities, women and veterans. The Administration has solidified its position that it cares more about special interests than small business owners and their employees, who face a near-daily onslaught of costs and uncertainties from the Biden Administration’s regulatory assault.” - @matthewhaller #SmallBusinessWeek

Abby Schmidt of @Paychex says we can do better to educate about franchising. "When people drive down the street and see a logo, they often think that's a corporately owners business - and it's not. That's a small business, and that's owned by someone locally in their community."
