Welcome
Chair Mary L. Landrieu
Ranking Olympia J. Snowe
Welcome to the homepage for the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. America's 27 million small businesses are the nation’s engine of growth, pumping almost a trillion dollars into the economy each year, creating two-thirds of all new jobs annually and making up more than half the U.S. workforce. I invite you to explore this site and discover what we are doing to promote and protect our nation’s innovators and job creators. Here you will find information on actions the Senate is taking to help small businesses through legislation, hearings and oversight letters. Information on issues important to entrepreneurs is also available, as well as a survey for small business owners to tell us about their businesses, the challenges they’re facing and ways the Senate can help. I hope you will find this site to be a useful resource.
