Small businesses are the backbone of Tennessee’s economy – as evidenced by the state’s 142,428 small businesses employing fewer than 100 employees and 470,330 non-employer firms.
Just getting started? The Tennessee Smart Start Guide is a resource for entrepreneurs, future and present, to navigate successful growth and expansion.
In Memphis, the Entrepreneurs Network Center is the No. 1 resource for small-business development. It provides Memphis-based entrepreneurs and small businesses with training, one-on-one counseling and other valuable assistance to facilitate their success.
Similarly, the Memphis Chamber offers assistance for small businesses via connections, resources, tools and business coaching services. Silver linings, indeed.
