Celebrating Small Business Month - Hospitality & Tourism


The Nashville landscape is significantly dominated by small businesses with 60% of total businesses having less than 25 employees. After celebrating National Small Business Week (May 2-5) with the U.S. Small Business Administration, we are continuing to recognize the resiliency and tenacity of America’s entrepreneurs who are doing their part to power our nation’s historic economic comeback.

With over 75% of Chamber membership being small businesses, we are recognizing our small business members each week in May in Nashville’s leading industries, including music & entertainment, technology, professional services, and hospitality & tourism.
