The backbone of American free enterprise is the small business. It is also the backbone of the membership of the Tucson Metro Chamber. More than 85% of the Chamber’s membership is comprised of small businesses.

The Chamber has special programs in place to help small businesses grow into bigger businesses. There is a special Small Business Growth Committee comprised of small business owners. They have a four-point agenda to help small businesses:

• make money;

• save money;

• make important business connections and gain access to new opportunities; and,

• access experts who can help them grow their businesses.
