LePage uses radio address to talk of microbusinesses

Gov. Paul LePage used his weekly radio address to talk about the need to give microbusinesses a boost.

LePage said Saturday that Maine has about 130,000 microbusinesses that employ 170,000 people. Most employ just one or two people but they have “a big impact on families and our economy.”

The governor said his administration is working to help on issues like access to capital and the availability of broadband Internet. He said he’s also working with the Finance Authority of Maine to improve access to startup funding.

He said the state also has a Business Answers Hotline within the Department of Economic and Community Development, and Small Business Development Centers.
