The resolution recognizes the vital role that small businesses play in Texas's economy, highlighting that they constitute 99.8 percent of all businesses in the state and employ nearly half of its workforce. With approximately 3.1 million small businesses operating across various industries, including retail, food services, and technology, these enterprises not only provide essential goods and services but also foster job creation and stimulate local economies. The resolution emphasizes the diversity of small business ownership, noting that many are led by women and individuals from racial minority groups.

In light of the challenges faced by small businesses, such as economic uncertainty and rising operational costs, the resolution proposes the establishment of "Small Business Saturday," to be observed on the first Saturday of each month. This initiative aims to encourage Texans to support local businesses, thereby investing in the economic health of their communities and the state as a whole. The designation will remain in effect until the 10th anniversary of the resolution's passage, underscoring the legislature's commitment to fostering a supportive environment for small businesses in Texas.
