Small Business Council

Our January meeting will be held at the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce. The focus of the meeting will be an interactive discussion on what type of workshops small businesses need.

The Small Business Council (SBC) will provide a greater opportunity to share ideas, knowledge, and help us create meaningful programming for Spartanburg small businesses. The overall goal is to provide businesses with 50 or fewer employees the tools, training, information and support that will empower them to succeed.
