“New Hampshire’s innovative small businesses are the backbone of our economy, creating jobs and helping to move our state forward, and we must do more to support their critical work,” Senator Hassan said. “The Small Business Matchmaker event is an important opportunity for small businesses to build relationships with government agencies and prime contractors in order to help New Hampshire companies grow and thrive. I’ll keep fighting to ensure that our small businesses have the support and resources they need, including working to build a stronger workforce that meets the needs of our 21^st century innovation economy.”

Senator Hassan has consistently made promoting entrepreneurship and supporting small businesses a top priority. This week, Senator Hassan joined her colleagues in calling on Senate Leadership to take action before the end of the year to protect small businesses from red tape resulting from the U.S. Supreme Court’s backward Wayfair decision, which would force Granite State business to collect sales tax for 46 other states. Senator Hassan also recently hosted the Innovate NH Entrepreneurship Forum, which featured interactive workshops for entrepreneurs from across the state.
