Small Businesses Make Our Community

It is National Small Business Week, and the Temple Chamber is excited to join the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in celebrating our local small businesses and the nation’s 33 million small businesses!

Small business owners are the backbone of our economy, and we invite you to join us in celebrating the positive contributions of the greater Temple area’s small businesses and entrepreneurs this week, and always.

From creating jobs to enhancing city revenues and supporting civic causes, they play a vital role in making our community a vibrant place to live and work and are one of driving factors that our region is one of the most desirable places to do business in Texas.

We are fortunate to have the Governor’s Small Business Summit in Temple this Thursday, May 4, during National Small Business Week. The Summit is an opportunity for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and aspiring entrepreneurs to grow their business with other like-minded individuals. Whether they are just starting out or are seasoned entrepreneurs, there's something for everyone. An opportunity to learn from experts, network with other entrepreneurs, to take your business to the next level.

We are grateful for our small business community and are here to support and help them thrive in Central Texas.
