We empower small businesses and their advocates to engage more effectively with government.
Small business owners should be focused on their business, not regulations. We exist to provide professional, technical, empirically-based advocacy for small business owners through research and administrative advocacy at the state and local level. We are a resource for small businesses and small business advocates such as chamber organizations, trade associations, and other nonprofits.
The Pennsylvania Small Enterprise Foundation is active at both the state and local level in Pennsylvania, intervening in regulatory issues including zoning, occupational licensing, permitting, fees and taxes, and more. We have produced dozens of comment letters, helping to stop or delay damaging regulatory proposals and saving small businesses thousands of dollars in regulatory cost. We also produce high quality, technical research and testimony that small businesses and their advocates rely on to push back on costly regulation.
