Small Business Week is here, and we’re gearing up to spread the local love. We’ve partnered with some of Chattanooga’s businesses to celebrate the folks who make up the backbone of our local economy.
This week, you can expect Q+A’s with local entrepreneurs that shine a light on what it’s like being a part of the Scenic City’s small business community.
