I was recently given the opportunity to submit testimony to the House Small Business Committee. My remarks helped to inform a discussion on how best to encourage entrepreneurship and economic growth following the pandemic. My advice? Focus limited resources on the small businesses that are hanging on by a thread rather than corporate giants with influential lobbyists on Capitol Hill.
As the president and CEO of Intelligence360, a sales data company that typically services larger businesses, I got a front-row viewing of how the pandemic affected companies differently. Many large firms, which have extensive resources and access to huge credit lines, were able to retool and adjust operations to take advantage of unique pandemic-era business opportunities.
