Dedicated to helping small business members thrive through continuing education and training.
If you're a small business, you'll feel right at home at the Cottonwood Chamber of Commerce. Over 90 percent of our business members have 5 or fewer employees. This is why we have developed our Small Business Success Center (SBSC) on the Chamber web site, which is dedicated to assisting small business members with maintaining and expanding their business.
Helping small business prosper is a key part of our mission. We urge you to call the Chamber and ask for names of free or low cost consultants or other Chamber members that might be suitable to mentor and/or coach you and your business.
The SBSC is a place to solve all your small business needs; from start-up to going public and beyond. Use the SBSC as your source for counseling, planning, networking, gaining knowledge and doing research to get your business to where you want it to be. Small businesses power the Cottonwood-area economy and we are here to help.
For more information about the Small Business Success Center and what resources the Cottonwood Chamber can offer your small business email Lana Tolleson, President & CEO, or call Christian at (928) 634-7593.
