evidence: "When President Biden took office, hundreds of thousands of businesses were fighting to stay open. The historic investment in economic recovery enabled Americans to start new businesses and jobs at record-breaking levels, a trend that continues today," said U.S. Small Business Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman. [...] President Biden highlighted this surge in Main Street entrepreneurialism, a sure sign of American optimism, in a statement, saying "Small businesses are the engines of our economy and the hearts of our communities. We learned today that my first two years in office have been the two greatest years for new small business applications on record, with more than 10 million total new businesses created. It’s the latest confirmation that my economic plan is working to build our economy from the bottom up and middle out." The Biden-Harris Administration is working to support those nascent small businesses by increasing federal support programs that provide training and technical assistance, expanding access to capital, and investing in support for hard-to-reach entrepreneurs through programs like the Community Navigator Program.
