Entrepreneurs and Small Businesses Are the Key.....

Another article highlighting the importance of the entrepreneur and small businesses in leading the US economic stimulus.

According to Dinah Adkins, president and chief executive officer of the NBIA, "The study stressed the fact that business incubators create more jobs at a lower expense to the federal government. According to the research, the federal government spends $144 to $216 per job to create activity in the incubator sector.

In comparison, roads and transportation projects generally cost more than $1,200 per job, with 4.4 to 7.8 jobs created for every $10,000 invested, the report says."

The question then becomes - "How do we support and enable small business?"

No problem, with firms like the Gibbs Group, www.productbuilders.com, who do all the work for small business owners who have an idea but need assistance getting it to market, small businesses can thrive and generate new jobs faster than ever before.

The Gibbs group basically assists the idea owner to obtain intellectual property protection if necessary, do the engineering work to design and develop the product, then lines up manufacturers and distribution channels so that the business owners receive a turnkey, operational business that they can then pour heart and soul into to make it grow.

With teamwork between companies like the Gibbs Group and small business owners the future of America is in good hands, if the government can just let the process run.
