Why the Go Big Small Biz Network Exists

The Go Big Small Biz Network exists to prevent government overreach into Small Businesses – it’s our mission and continued passion. As many of our state legislators and elected officials are writing legislation that is harmful to small businesses, our purpose is to influence change for the benefit of small businesses. The work we are doing is critical to the future of our country’s economy and our local communities. By protecting small businesses we are protecting employees who rely on the success of small businesses.

Our Network is Gaining Traction

We are growing! Since launching in February of 2023, we currently have over 300 businesses and individuals in our mobilized and take action network along with over 900 following our social media channels

Top Bills and Legislation we are tracking:

In addition, we are watching, HB 1481, which allows striking Union workers to apply for unemployment. A non-union worker cannot apply for unemployment even though both pay into the unemployment fund. HB 1751 gives harsher penalties to construction employees for misclassification. Both were passed in Committee and will move to the House for a vote.

The work of the Go Big Small Biz Network team is important in influencing change for the better for small businesses but it’s critical to the future of our state and country’s economy. In Pennsylvania, 99% of the businesses are considered small. When combined with other states, small businesses drive 46% of our nation’s economy. Since the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, 26% of small businesses had to close their doors because of government overreach, mandates, and shutdowns. We are here to prevent that from happening again and need your support to continue building the momentum we have established in a very short period.
