A new group comprised of Pennsylvania small-business owners will advocate for small businesses moving forward.

The Go Big Small Business Network was formed by entrepreneurs in the wake of the pandemic to exclusively advocate for the rights of small businesses, the group announced in a Thursday news release.

The group was created by a Cumberland County couple whose 800-member fitness center closed due to the pandemic restrictions.

The new organization will focus on member education and advocacy efforts on proposed legislative and regulatory policies that directly impact job creators.

The release said there are more than one million small businesses statewide comprising more than 90% of all businesses.

Small-business owners interested in more information or becoming a member can visit gobigsmallbiz.com or email membership@gobigsmallbiz.com.

The group also can be found on all major social media platforms.
