NFIB member and Florida small business owner April Meier participated in NFIB’s podcast, the Small Business Rundown. During the episode, she discussed her recent visit to Washington, D.C. for NFIB’s annual Fly-In event on Capitol Hill. Meier is the owner of Positively Scrumptious, a holistic pet store located in Crestview, Florida.
Meier shared insights into how the 20% Small Business Deduction has benefited her business. She noted that it enabled her to hire more employees and purchase a freezer to expand product offerings for customers.
“We’ve also done a lot of things in our local community such as during Hurricane Michael we were able to put about 8,000lbs of food down to locations that you know, weren’t getting any help,” Meier stated. “We also sent stuff to people in the Carolinas from Hurricane Helene and within our community, we also do provide food to our Animal Services and our Police Department at my cost. Without this tax deduction, we probably would not be able to do any of those things.”
