In his recent testimony before Congress, Randy Cross — president of Fish Window Cleaning Services and IFA Board Member — laid out three practical steps lawmakers can take to protect and strengthen America’s small businesses, especially locally owned franchises like his. In this timely article, Randy shares his firsthand perspective on why Congress should:
