Therefore, by investing in small businesses, from this stems something called the multiplier effects.
The multiplier effect is a cycle that starts when there is investment. Through small businesses, there are more employment opportunities for persons. 
Not only does this mean more income for the country, but it also leads to an increase in the socioeconomic development of a country. Thus, those susceptible to lives of crime and substance abuse will be less inclined to continue this way of life given a more productive lifestyle. ]]> 2019-03-25 02:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraleelovesthesmurfs/ur9nhuvejtoy/wish/344655284 Professional CV lauraleelovesthesmurfs https://padlet.com/lauraleelovesthesmurfs/ur9nhuvejtoy/wish/348761929 2019-04-05 00:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraleelovesthesmurfs/ur9nhuvejtoy/wish/348761929 Professional Cover Letter lauraleelovesthesmurfs https://padlet.com/lauraleelovesthesmurfs/ur9nhuvejtoy/wish/349066347 2019-04-05 19:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lauraleelovesthesmurfs/ur9nhuvejtoy/wish/349066347
