They’ll appreciate the shout out! Small Business Season is November 1 to December 31 every year. It’s a time to celebrate and support the small and local businesses that bring character to our communities and form an important part of our local economy. The majority of FJI’s 500 members are independent businesses, many of them small businesses. According to the 2022 Small Business Economic Impact Study, $0.68 of every dollar spent at a small business in the U.S. stays in the local community and every dollar spent at small businesses creates an additional $0.48 in local business activity as a result of employees and local businesses purchasing local goods and services. Local spending is community building. When you’re spending local during Small Business Season, use the Forward Janesville Member Directory .
