The Truth About Small Businesses
Small businesses have a 90%+ failure rate in their first 5 years. In other words, if 10 people were to start a new business today, only 1 would be left standing just 5 years from now.
And the rate of failure gets even worse when you add on layers like minority-owned and non-profit small businesses.
We believe small businesses are the backbone of the economy – providing employment opportunities, supporting communities, and driving innovation.
Tahome Marketing’s mission is to support the small businesses that are the staples in their communities, that create meaningful jobs and that were built on pure passion and determination. We want to see you succeed and we will do everything in our power to ensure you do.
