ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Small
businesses represent nearly 95 percent of all U.S. employers, and
as such, play an integral role in the economy. But, their impact is
felt well beyond their economic power. They are incubators of
innovation, providing unique products and services that advance
society and meet consumer demand in new and exciting ways every
day. Today, in recognition of this week's Small Business Saturday,
Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of payroll, HR, retirement, and
insurance services for small- and mid-sized businesses, is shining
a spotlight on that innovation by launching its search for
America's Most Unique Small Business.
"Small Business Saturday kicks off one of the most important
times of the year for U.S. small businesses, and we're proud to
recognize those who help fuel our economic engine in a unique way,"
said Martin Mucci, president and CEO of Paychex. "Over the next six
weeks, we're asking the public to vote and ultimately choose
America's Most Unique Small Business."
Out of hundreds of submissions, Paychex selected 32 finalists
that will go head-to-head in a bracket-style contest. The first
round of public voting begins today, November 20. Four rounds of voting will cover six
weeks and culminate in a holiday championship showdown. After a
two-week final round, December 23 through
January 5, America's Most Unique Small Business will be
announced the week of January 8.
To learn more about the 32 finalists and record your first-round
