Small Business Development

The City of Elizabethton is committed to assisting existing Elizabethton small businesses grow and expand. We will help connect you to training for you or your employees, mentoring programs, business analysis, lending options, and local demographic information.

If your business does not have a Facebook page or are listed on Google maps, be sure to watch the videos below. A recent study by ICSC shows that approximately 45% of shoppers are influenced to shop at a certain store based on the business' social media presence. Make sure your on social media so your store can be the one potential customers find! It's easier than you think and takes less than 10 minutes to do each one.
