Is Your Community Committed to Supporting Small Business?

The Open for Business Awards are a great way to celebrate your achievements and gain extensive media exposure for your community.

The Open for Business Awards celebrate communities that have created a business friendly environment, allowing small business to flourish. Launched in 2011, the awards are managed and delivered by the Small Business Roundtable Secretariat, encompassing three categories:

• Small Communities (<5,000 residents)
• Medium Communities (5,000 to 25,000 residents)
• Large Communities (>25,000 residents)

Finalists Coming Soon
