AM backs Small Business Saturday

29/11/2018

Saturday the 1st of December is Small Business Saturday and Gower AM Rebecca Evans is encouraging residents to ‘shop local.’
 
Small Business Saturday is a grassroots campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities. The day itself takes place on the first shopping Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.
 
Shopping local makes good economic sense. Research on spending shows that for every £1 spent with a small or medium-sized business, 63p stayed in the local economy, compared to 40p with a larger business.
 
The Welsh Labour Government supports small businesses through Small Business Rates Relief. As a result, three-quarters of small businesses have help with their rates bills and around half pay nothing at all.
 
Rebecca Evans AM said “Small Business Saturday is about celebrating the contribution that small businesses make in Gower.
 
“Small businesses play an important role in our communities. They sustain our high streets are and are the backbone of our local economy, ensuring it is both sustainable and diverse.”
