Memphis Small Business Owners’ Group

As small business owners ourselves—and clearly not website designers—we experience all the challenges business ownership has to offer—sales slumps, employee challenges, time scarcity, and so many more—and want to help. We’re launching a unique community to serve as a collaborative resource for small business owners in the Memphis area to discuss what’s working (or not working) in their businesses and share best practices with each other.

Here, we believe in the power of collaboration and support. Join us for engaging discussions, hands-on problem-solving, and a network that truly has your back. Get ready to boost your business, forge new friendships, and have some fun along the way. Let’s make great things happen together!

Who is this for and what will it look like?

We think this will start as a series of monthly meetings with a short presentation from someone in the community on a special topic, a panel discussion, and Q&A time. Probably some meet-and-greet before and after.

This is NOT a sales/networking gathering. It’s for business owners to find support and contribute insights to other owners in the city.

The owners who will get the most out of this have businesses that have operated for more than a couple of years, have more employees than they can personally manage, but are still under $5MM in revenue.

Panel Discussions

Dive into our lively panel discussions! Our experts and seasoned entrepreneurs will share insights on key topics like marketing, management, and tech. Get practical solutions, ask burning questions, and be inspired by real-world experiences.

Group Q&A

Bring your business dilemmas to our Group Q&A! Whether it’s cash flow issues or tech trends, our savvy community offers advice and resources. Think of it as having a board of directors ready to help you navigate entrepreneurship.

Collaboration

Imagine what a room full of business brains can achieve! Our collaboration sessions spark creativity and problem-solving. Share ideas, gain new strategies, and maybe even find new business partners. We’re all in this together!
