Communities across the nation are gearing up for one of the most significant shopping events of the year – Small Business Saturday. Falling on November 25th this year, it's a day dedicated to celebrating and supporting the small businesses that give our neighborhoods their unique character and charm. They’re the backbone of our communities—driving innovation, creating jobs, and fueling economic growth. Here’s a snapshot of small businesses in the U.S. by-the-numbers:

Let's face it – running a small business isn't easy. Our small business owners often grapple with challenges such as limited access to capital, high banking fees, and impersonal financial services. Traditional banking institutions typically don’t offer the tailored support that small businesses need to thrive. That’s why credit unions like Chartway can be crucial in making your business successful.

It’s time to secure the funds you need for inventory, staffing, and marketing and consider how you’ll streamline your payment processes for a smoother customer experience.
