SBAJ: 2022 Proved Bitter-Sweet For Members

President of the Small Business Association of Jamaica (SBAJ) Michael Leckie says the challenges for 2022 were both positive and negative for small business operators, amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

He also highlighted support was provided by the government to help some businesses stay afloat. Another fact he pointed out was the emergence of online businesses.
