Talk SHOP is Engage’s monthly newsletter for small business owners and the professionals who work with them. Each issue offers a bipartisan, plain-language read on what Congress and federal agencies are doing and what it means for small businesses and their employees.
Our first issue delivers the practical guide to the Section 45S paid leave tax credit that we promised readers this summer, maps where small business policy is made in Congress, looks at whether AI is fueling America’s business boom, and opens our American Engine column with a contributor piece on broadband and small business.
