Spectrum Business' "Let's Get Started" initiative comes as new
small and medium-sized businesses are forming at a rapid pace
across the United States. Since
2020, new business formation is up 20% annually, according to data
from the U.S. Census and federal Small Business Administration. A
record breaking 5.4 million new business applications were filed in
the U.S. in 2021, and 5.1 million in 2022, according to a U.S.
Chamber of Commerce report that also underscores how vital small
businesses are to the nation's economy.
"We're seeing more and more self-starters in the cities and
towns we serve with great ideas, but they need help to turn their
passion into successful businesses," said Sharon Peters, Executive Vice President and
Chief Marketing Officer for Charter. "As a company we are deeply
invested in the communities where we operate, and with 'Let's Get
Started' we can provide valuable information, tools and resources
to help the next generation of local entrepreneurs turn their
dreams into a thriving business reality."
With "Let's Get Started," aspiring small business owners can
access a new business toolkit as well as helpful articles with tips
and advice for launching. They also can request a free mentor from
SCORE, whose experienced small business mentors are available
through 225 chapters in the U.S. for in-person or virtual coaching
and advice about how to start, manage and grow a successful
business. As part of the initiative, Spectrum Business will
spotlight the program and the Company's small business product
offerings, as well as host workshops and speed-networking sessions
at upcoming SMB trade shows this year in New York City, Dallas and Los
Angeles. More information is available at
