SUMMARY:Greater Gainesville Chamber Small Business Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Small businesses often feel that they are “alone in the fight.” But in actuality\, most small business owners are experiencing the same highs and lows. The small business support group is an opportunity for owners of businesses with 25 employees or less to come together and share ideas\, questions and experiences(maybe even a rant or two). We hope that you walk away from the group with a new support system and maybe even learn a few things that can help with your business development.
