Yesterday Intuit announced that it would be investing an incremental $1 million in helping small businesses across the country create jobs. Intuit will offer the new cash through its Love a Local Business campaign, which to date has already distributed about $500,000.
Here’s a quote from Montana Congressman Sam Graves, who heads the Small Business Committee. Graves is praising the $1 million investment strongly.
“Everyone will agree that small businesses are the key to our nation’s job growth and economic recovery,” said Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) Chairman, Small Business Committee, U.S. House of Representatives. “My colleagues and I on Capitol Hill know that we still have a long way to go, however, programs like Love a Local Business are providing valuable support to these job creators as they try to grow and invest in their businesses. As small firms and communities improve, so will our nation’s economy.”
