Happy National Small Business Week!

Small businesses are the backbone of rural communities. However, rural business owners often face unique challenges.

As we celebrate National Small Business Week, we want to highlight key resources for our rural entrepreneurs.

Kelly Loeffler, the 28th Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender about her top priorities for supporting Rural America, what this week means for rural business owners, and shared advice for other business owners.
