Micro Business Council Survey

The Greater Naples Chamber is launching a new Micro Business Council designed specifically for businesses with 1–10 employees, including solopreneurs, startups, and home-based ventures. This council will provide monthly education, valuable connections, and peer support tailored to the unique needs of micro-stage business owners. As we finalize programming and prepare for a March 2026 launch, we want your input to ensure the council reflects the real challenges and opportunities facing our local micro business community. Please take a moment to complete the brief survey below and help shape this new initiative.
