Did you know that small businesses are the lifeblood of America? Small businesses account for 44% of the total US private payroll. (US Small Business Administration 2011).
Local First Utah has released a new research study by Civic Economics detailing the amount of revenue returned to the local community by locally owned, independent businesses. The analysis shows locally owned retailers return 52% of their revenues to the local economy. For comparison purposes, national chain retailers return just 14% of revenues. That means every dollar spent at a locally owned, independent business returns almost four times more to the local economy than a dollar spent at a national chain retailer!
