"The best time to support small businesses is always today."
Gisele Barreto Fetterman

In 2019, the US Small Business Administration released a report showing that small businesses, those companies with fewer than 500 employees, in the United States produced 44% of all economic activity in the country. That same year, small businesses also provided 2/3rd of all employment within the US. After the pandemic in 2021, small businesses created 5.5 million jobs, making a huge impact on our overall economic recovery (Treece, 2023). Small businesses are a vital part of our economy and foster healthy competition for our market.

Saturday, November 25, 2023 is Small Business Saturday. Please support your local community small businesses!

Glossary of Strategic Planning Terms

The following list includes some – but not all – of the most common terms used in strategic planning. Many planners might have a different interpretation of a particular term, especially if they primarily use one model of strategic planning.
