Advocate for Your Small Business

The Florida Chamber Small Business Council has worked for more than two years on the access to capital issues facing small businesses. Members can take action to support Florida Chamber backed initiatives by showing support of legislation that will benefit Florida’s small businesses. Take Action Today:

• Contact Your Legislator
• Write a Letter to the Editor
• Travel to Tallahassee During the Legislative Session: Many small business issues are debated in the halls of the Florida Capitol every year and legislators need to hear directly from small business owners. If you are willing to make the occasional trip to Tallahassee to testify on important issues like taxation, government regulation, access to capital, insurance or workers’ compensation, please contact us directly by sending us an email.  Our Corporate Relations Manager, Emily Martin, can be reached at emartin@flchamber.com or by phone at (850) 521-1244.
