DETROIT, MI – (March 4, 2019) May is small business month and the first week of the month is Small Business Week.

This year’s theme–Navigating The Headwinds of Change–addresses the question of whether or not your business is ready for an ever-changing, competitive, dynamic market, in light of potential economic changes.
