Reasons to Support Local Business:
not in any specific order

1. |
Capital available for small
local businesses is sluggish, and difficult for most
small businesses to acquire. By supporting the businesses
in your area, you help to increase their chances of expansion
with or without outside investment. |

West Michigan has seen a big impact from outsourcing
of manufacturing jobs. By spending money in our own
communities, we are supporting ourselves, rather than
supporting corporations who are not concerned about
our well being. |
3.
|
Supporting local business increases the chance that area
residents can find employment close to home, rather
than commuting to outside communities. |
4.
|
Thriving local businesses help to support initiatives
to improve the overall image of an area to make it
attractive to investment. |
5.

By supporting local businesses, we can create economically
healthy communities with opportunities for the young
to find satisfying work locally and where there is
a significant degree of local control of the economy,
development and growth. |
6.
|
Local owners, typically having invested much of their
life savings in their businesses, have a natural interest
in the community’s long-term health. Community-based
businesses are essential to charitable endeavors, and
their owners frequently serve on local boards and support
numerous causes. |
7.
|
Studies have shown that locally based businesses provide
some of the most stable employment opportunities in
a community and account for the largest share of net
new jobs generated each year. |
8.
|
Local ownership helps to ensure that important community
decisions are made by people who live in the community
and will feel the impact of those decisions. |
9.
|
Entrepreneurship fuels economic innovation and prosperity,
and provides a means for families to move out of low-wage
jobs and into higher economic sectors. |
10.
|
As opposed to chain stores, locally owned businesses
recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into
the local economy, enriching the whole community. |
11.
|
Locally owned businesses build strong communities by
sustaining vibrant town centers, linking neighbors
in a web of economic and social relationships and contributing
to local causes. |
