The proposed business tax reform is good for small businesses!

It would exempt more than 2,500 small businesses from the tax by expanding the Small Business Exemption to businesses with annual revenue above $5 million dollars.

This Small Business Week, we are excited to highlight the manufacturing and production sectors that create San Francisco-made products and provide diverse and well-paying jobs!
