Small Business Week in Texas, April 28 - May 4
April 30, 2024
Each year, the Governor’s Office of Small Business Assistance celebrates and continuously advocates for Texas entrepreneurs during Small Business Week. With nearly half of all working Texans being employed by small businesses, there is no question that Texas is the state to start a business. We also celebrate Texas being one of our nation’s leaders in women-owned, minority-owned, and veteran-owned businesses.
The office offers a wealth of information and resources for small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs needing assistance.
