Greetings!  It is my pleasure to introduce and welcome you to the Small Business Network of Greater Long Beach (SBN Long Beach)!  Officially, we are the Greater Long Beach Small Business Association, incorporated in the state of California as a mutual benefit corporation, the same organizational structure as business leagues, chambers of commerce and boards of trade.

Businesses -

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of working with many of you as we’ve collaborated to grow your businesses and develop your client base.  It is your ideas, requests and inspiration that are reflected here; the most constant of these being:

• Services relevant to the needs of small businesses; and
• Affordability of dues and a flexible payment structure; and
• Organizational leadership reflective of the membership.

Residents -

We at SBN Long Beach are committed to supporting the businesses and organizations that provide jobs to our residents, pay taxes that support city services and contribute to the vibrant way of life we enjoy in our community. 

We take pride in highlighting the outstanding business practices and customer service skills of our members. Additionally, we will be offering annual business ethics training to all members and their staff; helping to ensure that the highest levels of professional standards are maintained.

SBN Long Beach began with the straightforward concept of creating an organization that provides vital services, education and resources to the small business owner, plus an easy-to-use guide to various programs and activities available for all who live, work and do business here. To make certain we never lose our focus, we started with our name.

Although SBN Long Beach is a new to our community, there are hundreds of Small Business Networks (SBNs) throughout the United States.  To see if SBN Long Beach is a good fit for your business or organization, click here.  Membership is open to all who support the mission of SBN Long Beach.

Warmest regards,

Kelly Stortz

President
