We're here to help!
With 67% of our members categorized as small business owners, our focus is on them. We want to hear your voice, stand tall and support you, and be in your corner every step of the way.
We believe there is plenty of work to do beyond your dream of owning your own business. That is the work we want to help you with.
One idea most people will agree on is that helping people realize their full entrepreneurial potential benefits everyone. Communities buoyed by a strong startup ecosystem thrive. They benefit from diverse job creation that offers residents options for expanding their professional experience and local taxes that pay for the community amenities most of us cherish.
The Caldwell Chamber is your business partner.
We have prepared a few Small Business links to assist you on your journey. Please let us know how we can help you - 828.726.0616
