Because Small is Mighty.
Why "Small Biz Mighty"?
Because who doesn't love a good pun?
But seriously—small businesses are anything but small in their impact.
There are 33.2 million small businesses in the U.S.—that’s 99.9% of all American businesses. These scrappy, brave, idea-driven ventures create 64% of new jobs and contribute nearly half (43.5%) of the U.S. GDP. They’re the backbone of our economy, our communities, and frankly, our families. Nearly half of all private sector workers are employed by small businesses. That's massive.
And yet...
More than 50% of small businesses fail within five years.
Over 80% have no employees at all. (You go, Solopreneur!)
Owners clock an average of 52 hours per week, often solo, juggling everything from marketing to invoicing to mopping the floor.
The top struggles? Hiring, inflation, taxes—and trying to run a business from your kitchen table with no sleep and a toddler melting down beside you. (We’ve been there.)
Oh—and did you know that 43.4% of small businesses are women-owned, and half start at home?
That’s not just inspiring—it’s personal.
We built Small Biz Mighty
for the ones in the trenches.
For the Etsy seller trying to scale.
The coach figuring out her first offer.
The nonprofit founder who also does the bookkeeping.
The side hustler asking, “Is this even working?”
We’ve been there—battered by broken processes, crappy margins, impossible expectations, and the gnawing sense that it shouldn’t be this hard. But we also believe in this truth:
⚡ You might be small—but you’re building something mighty.
