California's Small Business Shortfall: Missing the Mark Despite the State of California's ambitious goal to allocate 25% of its business to certified small businesses, the reality is starkly different. Small businesses are currently receiving only 1% of state contracts, a far cry from the target. This significant shortfall highlights a critical issue in our procurement practices and underscores the need for immediate action and reform. Small businesses are vital to our economy, driving innovation, job creation, and community development. They deserve more than just promises—they need tangible support and opportunities. Let's push for greater accountability and transparency to ensure that the State of California truly supports its small businesses. It's time to turn these goals into reality and create a more equitable business environment. #SmallBusiness #Procurement #California #EconomicEmpowerment #SupportLoca

Seeing the Huntsville Center's Small Business Industry Day propel over $1 billion in contracts to small businesses last year is striking. The real opportunity lies in strengthening these connections, especially for disadvantaged and minority-owned businesses.

A Call for Change: Support California Small Businesses Did you know that 99% of the State of California's spending goes to large out-of-state corporations? This leaves a mere fraction for the 99.8% of small businesses right here in California. Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, driving innovation, creating jobs, and fostering vibrant communities. Yet, they're being sidelined in favor of large, out-of-state corporations. It's time for California to prioritize its small businesses. Let's push for procurement practices that truly support local enterprises, ensuring they get a fair share of state contracts. By doing so, we can strengthen our economy, create jobs, and support the communities that make California unique. #SmallBusiness #SupportLocal #California #Procurement #EconomicEmpowerment
