Each year, for at least 50 years, the country has celebrated National Small Business Week to recognize the contributions of entrepreneurs and small business owners in cities, town and states across America.
During the week of May 4-8, Better Business Bureau (BBB) Serving Northern Indiana will take the opportunity to honor, recognize and support the resilience of small businesses during these trying times. The BBB encourages everyone to join them.
BBB is encouraging small businesses to share their story of entrepreneurship and how they became small business owners. BBB will highlight these stories on its social media all week. Submit stories on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIN or email nichole@northernindiana.bbb.org.
BBB will celebrate #GivingTuesday, a global day of unity to take place today, as a response to need caused by COVID-19. BBB encourages everyone to support area charities, whether through monetary donations or volunteering. BBB is accepting donations for its #BBBFeedingtheFrontLines campaign at www.gofundme.com/f/bbb-feeding-the-frontline.
BBB will continue to offer education and assistance to small businesses throughout the COVID-19 pandemic via a series of webinars and other resources and tools. BBB will host a joint webinar with the Indiana attorney general on Wednesday at 2 p.m., focusing on how business owners can avoid COVID-19 scams. Registration is at bbb.org.
