I have been a small business owner in United States with a restaurant, technology managed services and staffing businesses to my credit. It’s a shame that small businesses are dying in metros as they are not getting enough visibility and are not able to compete with the Macys’ and the Starbucks of the retail industry. The rents have become higher and the loan options are limited. At the same time entrepreneurship is not being encouraged in schools. It is our responsibility to encourage small businesses and so should Google by promoting quality small businesses. I always put good reviews for quality small businesses in order to encourage these businesses as well as reduce the amount of cookie cutter franchised restaurants in my area. Let’s take an oath as local guides to encourage small businesses!
