Small Business Council

Small Businesses, Big Voice

Most businesses start as small businesses. Small businesses create two out of every three jobs, per the U.S. Small Business Administration. They are the beating heart of not only the Greater Memphis economy but of the Greater Memphis Chamber, accounting for 90% of the Chamber’s total membership.

Want to get plugged into the Small Business Council? Email Patricia McKinney.

Through the Chamber’s Small Business Council (SBC), businesses with 500 employees or fewer receive support, resources, advocacy, and a deep sense of community that positions them for success.

Seeing the GREATER Picture

Every dollar of your investment in the Chamber fuels our Prosper Memphis 2030 strategic plan.
