Resources for Rural Entrepreneurs

Rural small businesses dominate over businesses with 500 employees or more at 42% of the job share market within their population area. With the population declining in rural areas, rural small businesses struggle to hire employees, grow, and maintain their customer numbers

"Rural entrepreneurs have a longer-term outlook, influenced by the weather and the growth cycles of crops and animals. They are entrusted with improving the land to guarantee healthful products for their customers. I enjoy working over years with my clients and develop friendships that last."
