What struggles do Sacramento’s small businesses face? We want to hear from you
A crisis of dual proportions affects Sacramento’s economy.
Small businesses struggle to establish a foothold and flourish in a brick and mortar. Economic upheaval through tariffs, high costs of insurance and navigating a city’s permitting process all pile atop an owner.
A property owner also grapples with holding onto tenants in storefronts.
The Sacramento Bee is writing a story exploring some of the struggles that small businesses face. Our local economy depends on those willing to launch their idea in the market, according to our local elected leaders.
“Thank you to our small businesses,” said Councilmember Karina Talamantes on Tuesday during a City Council meeting honoring small businesses. “Thank you to our large businesses. You truly are the backbone of our economy, and we need you now more than ever.”
We would love to hear from you about the challenges particular to the city of Sacramento through our survey.
