Our Work
The Small Software Business Alliance ensures that the voice of our U.S. small tech companies is front and center on tax policy discussions on Capitol Hill, at the White House, and in state houses across the country.
The tax policy environment is a powerful lever to support small software businesses. Pro-business tax policies are critical to helping U.S. small businesses stay competitive and adaptable in an ever-changing ecosystem.
Through letters, meetings, and public events, SSBA members engage in authentic conversations with policymakers to share real world impacts of tax policy on small businesses, job creation, and innovation.
