Since 1963, National Small Business Week has been declared and celebrated from April 22nd to April 28th. This is a time set aside to formally recognize small business owners for their role in the American community and economy.

The US Small Business Administration will have events today and tomorrow at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. (source).

The SBA website is actually a great resource for anyone starting or growing a small business - whether online or offline. If you arent already familiar with it, and have a US-based business (or business idea), take a few clicks around the site to check out their resources.

Keep your eyes peeled too, for special sales during this national event. Major stores such as Staples will run sales during the celebration week, so you can pick up great deals on electronics and office equipment .

Happy Small Business Week!
