A Chamber of Commerce is the central element of a community’s business network whose goal is to further the interests of businesses and to serve as advocate on their behalf. A community’s business network is fundamental to job creation, tax income, property values, innovation, and local, regional, and national economy. Thousands of businesses are started in the United States every year. Success is often attributed to hard work, drive, dedication, market demand or even the occasional luck; however, the success rate of a community’s business network can improve with access to a collaborative space where a Chamber of Commerce can assist owners with important business planning and training. For example, there are a variety of reasons why businesses fail, but one of the most common reasons is due to disaster. A maintained and relevant business continuity plan can help members of a Chamber of Commerce plan for the unthinkable, as well as lower your insurance premiums before the disaster strikes.
