Initiative Celebrates Free Enterprise, Economic Growth And Job Creation
(UCBJ) – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has launched the Freedom 250 Small Business Pledge, inviting small business owners nationwide to participate in a celebration marking 250 years of American independence, entrepreneurship and free enterprise.
As part of the SBA’s Freedom 250 initiative, businesses that sign the pledge will receive an official Freedom 250 certificate recognizing their commitment to America’s economic strength, local communities and the entrepreneurial spirit that has helped define the nation since 1776.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are ushering in a golden era of growth and strength, with small businesses leading the way — and the Freedom 250 Pledge is an opportunity for America’s entrepreneurs to proudly stand behind the values of free enterprise, hard work, and the pursuit of the American Dream,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler.
“For 250 years, America’s small businesses have embodied the ingenuity, grit, tenacity, and know-how that make our country the greatest in the world. The Trump SBA is proud to celebrate every small business that is growing in America, hiring in America, innovating in America, and carrying forward the spirit that has defined American free enterprise for 250 years,” Loeffler said.
According to the SBA, the Freedom 250 initiative recognizes entrepreneurs, manufacturers, Main Street businesses, family-owned companies and innovators that contribute to the nation’s economy and local communities.
Businesses that sign the pledge will:
- Receive an official Freedom 250 certificate from the SBA.
- Receive recognition as part of America’s 250th anniversary celebration.
- Join a national network of entrepreneurs supporting American free enterprise.
- Demonstrate their commitment to economic growth, innovation and job creation.
“I am excited to celebrate the entrepreneurs across the Atlantic Region by engaging in the Freedom 250 celebration,” said Tyler Teresa, SBA regional administrator.
“Every small business owner is aware that it is not possible to succeed alone. It is important for entrepreneurs to connect to collaborate and share best practices, and the Freedom 250 Small Business Pledge provides an additional platform for entrepreneurs to engage,” Teresa said.
The SBA said the initiative coincides with continued growth in the small business sector and is intended to highlight the role entrepreneurs play in strengthening communities and driving economic development.
Small business owners can learn more about the initiative and sign the pledge through the SBA’s Freedom 250 website.
