The Latest from Small Business Roundtable
Main Street to Marketplace: How Small Businesses Are Selling Online
Washington, D.C. – The Small Business Roundtable (SBR), a coalition of leading small business and entrepreneurship organizations representing more than 30 million small businesses, today announced the release of its latest research report, Main Street to Marketplace: How Small Businesses Are Selling Online. This report, conducted in collaboration with Morning Consult, provides revelatory insights into the evolving landscape of e-commerce for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Drawing from survey data of over 580 small business leaders who sell online, the report offers a comprehensive analysis of key trends shaping the small business landscape. It highlights how online marketplaces influence business operations, creating both new opportunities and challenges, while also examining how SMEs are leveraging digital platforms to expand their reach, respond to evolving consumer behavior, and navigate an increasingly complex small business environment.
New Survey Data Highlights What Every Shopper Knows: E-Commerce Playing Bigger Role, Especially for Small Businesses
Washington, D.C. — A recent TechNet-Ipsos survey looked at the role e-commerce marketplaces (think Amazon, Walmart online, Etsy, etc.) play in the small business economy. In short: these marketplaces are becoming more and more meaningful for engaging customers, in a large part by addressing competitive disadvantages small business owners face.
From expanding customer reach to reducing operational costs, the survey underscores how these platforms are empowering small retailers to thrive in a competitive and evolving digital economy. As small businesses increasingly adopt multi-channel strategies, e-commerce has emerged as a cornerstone of their success.

Washington, D.C. — Small Business Roundtable Co-Executive Directors Rhett Buttle and John Stanford issued the following statement on President-elect Trump’s nomination of former Georgia Sen. Kelly Loeffler to lead the U.S. Small Business Administration:
“Small businesses are the cornerstone of the American economy, employing nearly half of the workforce and generating trillions in GDP. The U.S. Small Business Administration serves as a critical partner to these businesses by managing loan programs, offering contracting and procurement opportunities, and providing essential resources and guidance. We congratulate Loeffler on her nomination and are eager to find ways to work with her and the SBA to support the continued success of America’s small business community.”

SBR Sends Letter to Congressional Leaders on Priorities of Small Business Community in 2024
Washington, D.C. — Today, the Small Business Roundtable (SBR) sent a letter to Congressional leaders about the priorities of the small business community in 2024, including increasing federal government resources for small business owners going digital, modernizing and resourcing federal support programs for entrepreneurs, addressing qualified worker shortages that are hindering small business growth, and taking steps to promote private sector lending to small business owners.
SBR Submits Comments on SBA’s Proposed Rule Reforming Criminal Record Eligibility Requirements for Loan Programs
Washington, D.C. — Last week, the Small Business Roundtable (SBR) joined with a number of its members in submitting comments in support of the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) proposed rule breaking down barriers for entrepreneurs with prior justice involvement. Under current regulations, individuals seeking access to various SBA loan programs may be deemed ineligible for loans if they are on parole, on probation, or otherwise have a criminal history record. While the proposed rule represents a critical step towards expanding access to capital for entrepreneurs with prior justice involvement, SBR will work with the Administration and Congress to address more opportunities to ensure participating lenders follow the SBA’s lead.

Leading Business Organizations Pen Letter to U.S. House and Senate Leadership on Pending Government Shutdown’s Impact on Small Businesses
Washington, D.C. — Today, a dozen organizations who collectively represent millions of businesses, wrote a letter to House and Senate leadership detailing their concerns over a government shutdown’s impact on small businesses and entrepreneurs.
The letter urges Congress to take swift action to reach a bipartisan solution to fund the government and avoid a shutdown that would cause unnecessary harm to small businesses that continue to grapple with rising costs and a challenging post-pandemic economy. The signees detail the disruptions a government shutdown causes on day to day operations of small businesses as well as the longer term damage the shutdown can have on the stability of small businesses.
Small Business Organizations Send Letter to House Speaker McCarthy about Consequences of Government Shutdown
Washington, D.C. - Several Small Business Roundtable members sent a letter to House Speaker McCarthy expressing deep concerns regarding ongoing negotiations to fund the federal government beyond the end of the 2023 fiscal year. The groups urged Congress to work to reach a bipartisan solution to fund the government and avoid a shutdown and encouraged Congressional leadership to work with appropriators to pass all 12 appropriations bills and stop the practice using CRs for a long term funding strategy.
A Hands-On Look at (Some) Modern Entrepreneurs
Throughout the pandemic, Small Business Roundtable (SBR) chronicled the need for small business owners to take their business online. In fact, embracing e-commerce was one of the many ways entrepreneurs survived one of the most challenging business environments in decades. From iconic restaurants utilizing delivery services to retailers offering goods on overnight-made websites or online marketplaces, small businesses leaned into online sales and digital tools to survive, and in many cases, flourish.
Since the country has re-opened, I’ve been fortunate to reconnect with small business owners around the nation and hear their journeys. For many, leveraging technology has been a common response to “what’s different” about your company now. Small businesses are increasingly embracing the role of e-commerce, which is contributing to strong economic growth in this sector during the first years of the Biden Administration. In fact, the Biden Administration just recently announced more than 10 million new business starts – many of which rely on e-commerce to gain customers or digital tools to run their business. The breaking of the digital divide is finally paying the entrepreneurship dividends many of us hoped for.
Small Business Roundtable at 2023 Accelerate Conference
Leaders from Small Business Roundtable (SBR) attended this year’s Amazon Accelerate conference where entrepreneurship advocates engaged the company on a wide array of issues.

Amazon Accelerate is Amazon's annual seller conference featuring Amazon leaders, experts, and small business owners and serves as a platform for small business owners to connect, learn, and grow. SBR participated in the conference to understand the seller’s reality and how advocacy can support these small business owners.
Largest U.S. Coalition of National Small Business Organizations, Small Business Roundtable, Hosts International Entrepreneurship Exchange 2023 in London
Washington, D.C. - The Small Business Roundtable (SBR), a coalition of leading small business and entrepreneurship organizations, has partnered with Enterprise Nation, the Federation of Small Businesses, The Entrepreneurs Network, and Intuit to host the Entrepreneurship Exchange 2023 (EX23) on Thursday, March 16, 2023, in London, United Kingdom.
Small Business Roundtable Issued the Following Statement:
“We are honored to host a multinational event to discuss key issues impacting small business communities across the world. Small businesses, across various countries, continue to face similar challenges, especially as they attempt to expand into global markets. We look forward to the productive conversations that this forum will foster between U.S. and U.K, policymakers, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs.”
Implications for the 118th Congress and How Small Business Owners Can Make Their Voices Heard
Now that the midterm elections are over and the 118th Congress is set to begin, it is worth considering the implications for small business and how entrepreneurs can engage.
Democrats achieved a true Senate majority with key victories in the Georgia Senate runoff for incumbent Raphael Warnock. Meanwhile, Republicans took the majority by a razor thin four seats in the House.
With a split Congress, partisan legislation will face challenges in the months ahead. House Republicans have already signaled an increase in Congressional oversight and investigations. While Senate Democrats will continue to work on passing legislation like they did in the 117th Congress, they will face challenges in passing legislation through a Republican-controlled House. Senate Democrats will also prioritize confirming Administration and judicial nominees with a 51-seat majority now.

Washington, D.C. - The SBIR & STTR Reauthorization Act of 2022, which reauthorizes the federal Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, unanimously passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote on September 21, 2022.

SBR looks forward to working with Secretaries Raimondo and Walsh to use our combined tools to help small businesses continue to grow and create good jobs in their communities.”
SBR Members Highlight the Importance of Financial Education for Women on FICO Panel at NAWBO’s 2022 Advocacy Days
Access to capital is essential for women entrepreneurs when starting or growing a business. But finances and credit scores can be intimidating and are often not well understood. Indeed, in a recent survey the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) did with payroll platform Gusto, more than two-thirds of women business owners had utilized personal savings to fund their business, while much fewer had acquired a private business loan (23%) or a SBA-backed loan (15%) that would require the use of a credit score.
Earlier this month at
NAWBO’s 2022 Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C., FICO joined SBR members NAWBO and NASE in a panel discussion to stress the importance of access to capital to women entrepreneurs, educate women business owners on how credit scores work, and provide them with the financial tools and resources they need to thrive.
Small Business Leaders Urge Quick Confirmation of Fed Nominees Lisa Cook and Phillip Jefferson
Dear Chairman Brown and Ranking Member Toomey,
On behalf of the Small Business Roundtable (SBR), we write to urge an expeditious confirmation of nominees Lisa Cook and Phillip Jefferson to the Federal Reserve. The Small Business Roundtable is a coalition of leading small business and entrepreneurship organizations, dedicated to advancing policy, securing access, and promoting inclusion to benefit the businesses at the heart of the American economy.
As you know, America’s 32.5 million small businesses are the backbone of our economy, comprising 99.9 percent of all firms and employing 61.2 million workers. The U.S. economy continues to recover from Covid-19, growing at a rate of 5.7 percent last year in 2021, the highest annual rate in over three decades. Small businesses played a critical role in this historic growth, with more than 9.8 million new business applications filed in the last two years.
Through the Federal Reserve’s mandate to maximize employment, stabilize prices, and maintain interest rates, it will play an important part in determining small businesses’ access to capital and overall growth in the years to come. We urge the Senate to hastily confirm nominees Lisa Cook and Phillip Jefferson to the Federal Reserve.

The Largest Coalition of National Small Business Organizations, Small Business Roundtable, Applauds Bipartisan Infrastructure Passage
Washington, D.C. - SBR Leaders issued the following statements in response to President Biden signing the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law:
Rhett Buttle & John Stanford, Co-Executive Directors of Small Business Roundtable
“We applaud Congress and the President in seeing this infrastructure package over the finish line. While ‘infrastructure week’ became a punchline in Washington, these investments in roads, bridges and technology are not a joke to American small businesses. The bipartisan compromise on this legislation shows that good policy can still be the product of advocacy and we hope more efforts like this can break the unending gridlock plaguing Washington. There are big victories for small businesses that will see more contracts and technical assistance to America’s job creators. We hope these benefits can be expanded – and in some cases funded – through the Build Back Better Act.”

Small Business Roundtable Encouraged by Bipartisan Infrastructure Agreement
Washington, D.C. - SBR Leaders issued the following statements in response to Bipartisan Infrastructure Agreement:
Rhett Buttle & John Stanford, Co-Executive Directors of Small Business Roundtable
“This bipartisan framework shows that it is possible to work across the aisle to better roads, bridges, transit and rail to benefit Americans across the nation and enable them to return to work. Many provisions would bolster the American competitive marketplace and economy and create new opportunities for small businesses and workers. We know this package doesn’t include or tackle everything -- that’s what compromise is about. We look forward to continued conversations on topics such as paid leave, lowering healthcare costs, increasing contracts and capital to women and business owners of color. We will continue to work with the Administration and Congress in ensuring that the small business community remains a priority in this package and future legislation.”
SBR Hosted a Roundtable Focused on Enhancing Access to Capital Featuring Members of Congress, National ACE, USHCC, and AEO
Capital drives entrepreneurial success, and, unfortunately, the Coronavirus pandemic caused this past year to be more difficult than most for small businesses across the nation. According to Small Business Roundtable’s State of Small Business Report, 28% of small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) said the biggest challenge they would face in 2020 would be cash flow. As we begin to look beyond COVID-19 relief, access to capital remains an evergreen issue and priority for the small business community.
This virtual briefing explores how entrepreneurs have financially navigated the pandemic, SBA loans and grants outlined by COVID-19 legislation, and alternative ways for entrepreneurs to increase their access to the capital market and scale their businesses.

The Small Business Community Applauds the Confirmation of Isabella Guzman as new Administrator of Small Business Administration
The small business community applauds the confirmation of Isabella Guzman as the new Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA). As America’s largest small business coalition, Small Business Roundtable (SBR) and its members are enthusiastic to work with Administrator Guzman and the SBA in implementing the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and prioritizing the small business community during this difficult time.
Administrator Guzman brings vast knowledge from her time as the director of California’s Office of the Small Business Advocate and deputy chief of staff at the SBA during the Obama Administration. Her extensive experience on topics such as access to capital and federal contracting will be crucial as the nation works towards small business recovery from both the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent economic recession. Additionally, she has the qualifications to suitably handle the implementation and execution of additional COVID-relief enacted by Congress.

“We are thrilled to celebrate Administrator Isabella Guzman’s recent confirmation as the 27th Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
