Starting and growing a business doesn't look the same for everyone. Businesses owned by marginalized community members can often be left behind, highlighting inequities that existed before the economic downturn. 

Are you a small business owner in Salt Lake County looking for resources to help your business grow?

The Utah LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce has joined forced with the Salt Lake County Office of Regional Development to facilitate access to free resources, focusing on:
