Whereas, small businesses account for over ninety-nine percent of all South Carolina businesses and employ over eight hundred thousand South Carolinians; and

 

Whereas, maintaining a business climate that allows small businesses across the Palmetto State to thrive and prosper is crucial to the future economic success of our great State; and

 

Whereas, it is crucial for small businesses to engage in the advocacy process to share with members of the South Carolina General Assembly the challenges that they are facing. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the Senate:

 

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize the importance of small businesses to the South Carolina economy, celebrate small business owners across the Palmetto State, and declare Wednesday, May 3, 2023 as "Small Business Day" in South Carolina.
