The Small Business and Entrepreneurship (SBE) Council has unveiled its 2018 Policy Agenda, with an eye toward making America more globally competitive while revitalizing the ecosystem for entrepreneurial activity.
SBE Council officials said the agenda seeks to explore greater access to capital, regulatory system formation, tax system modernization, broadband access and deployment, health care affordability and innovation, and growth via global markets.
The Council maintains keys to small business growth and healthy entrepreneurship hinge on strong and sustainable economic growth and the continuance of policies that lift government imposed barriers, encourage capital formation and investment.
Officials noted regulatory actions taken by President Trump and his Administration have already paid dividends for the economy by boosting business optimism, which has fueled more investment and positive economic activity.
Other key components of the Council’s agenda include keeping energy affordable, improving federal government procurement for small businesses and streamlining government to make it more cost-effective for taxpayers.
Doing more on the educational front to showcase how entrepreneurs and innovation are solving the nation’s most complex challenges also rests at the top of the list – as officials are hopeful Trump and Congress will prioritize their agenda and provide them with every opportunity to succeed in 2018.
