Strengthening Our Small Business Ecosystem
Small businesses are the heartbeat of Los Angeles. They embody the entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation, anchor our neighborhoods, and provide critical jobs. At the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, our commitment to supporting small businesses is unwavering. When small businesses succeed, Los Angeles succeeds. |

Building Capacity Through Procurement Opportunities Access to new markets can be transformative for small businesses. That’s why we prioritize small business procurement training, equipping entrepreneurs with the skills and insights to compete for contracts with major corporations and public agencies. With major global events on the horizon, procurement opportunities are expanding. Through Get In The Game LA, we are helping open doors to real business growth. Through our OneLA initiative, Tranee Peevy, CEO & Founder of Ifemi Wellness, gained clarity and confidence in her brand. With one-on-one guidance from expert advisors, Tranee refined her company’s messaging and visual identity. She shares, “The program helped me validate both my ideas and the brand I was building. I had been experimenting with so many color schemes and felt overwhelmed by the marketing and branding process, but the mentors and professionals I worked with took what I had already created and elevated it with clarity and intention.” Today, Tranee is ready to grow Ifemi Wellness into a thriving, purpose-driven business. |

A Shared Commitment to Growth Every initiative we champion—whether training, relief, dialogue, or technical assistance—reflects a central belief: small businesses are essential to the economic vitality and cultural richness of Los Angeles. The Chamber will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with entrepreneurs, ensuring they have the resources, connections, and advocacy they need to thrive. Together, let’s continue building a Los Angeles where small businesses not only survive but thrive—creating a stronger, more inclusive economy for all.
And that's The Business Perspective Sincerely,  President & CEO For more information about Maria S. Salinas, read her full bio and follow her on LinkedIn or X. |
