ROSELAND, N.J., Nov. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the significant impact small businesses make to our economy, ADP® today announced its participation in this year's Small Business Saturday, taking place on November 30, 2013. Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to strengthening our communities by supporting local small businesses.
"ADP serves approximately 425,000 small business clients. We understand firsthand the challenges small business owners face every day, ranging from mitigating risk and managing cash flow to attracting and retaining the best talent. Supporting Small Business Saturday is an important way to help promote and celebrate the contributions of the small business community," said Anish Rajparia, president of ADP's Small Business Services.
