Accounts to follow

It’s also a great idea to follow your local Small Business Administration (for example, @SBAPacificNW or @SBAatlantic) or other businesses in your area to be aware of local, business-related trends and conversations long after National Small Business week has ended.

Hashtags to watch and use
