Sarasota developer and real estate broker Dennis Bradford, in his role as an advisory board member for the Florida SBDC Network, personally witnessed one of President Donald Trump's first pro-small business actions.
Bradford was part of a nationwide group of small business leaders who sat behind Trump in the oval office when the president signed an executive order to reduce regulations. The order states that for every new regulation proposed, at least two existing regulations must be identified for elimination. Trump, in a statement, says the order is designed to cut “regulations massively for small businesses.”
Bradford, president of the Genesis Group and Island Investment Realty, spoke with the president briefly. “Thank you for doing this because small businesses have been buried in a tidal wave of red tape and to break that will really change the world for us,” Bradford told Trump, according to a statement.
The Florida SBDC Network, founded in 1976, provides training, information, research and general assistance to aspiring and emerging small businesses statewide.
