According to the Delaware Division of Small Business, Delaware is home to 27,111 small businesses, which accounts for 98% of all businesses in the state and employs 56% of the workforce.
At the Delaware State Chamber, we connect the many voices of small businesses in the state into one resounding voice for the legislative body. The Small Business Alliance (SBA) serves Delaware’s small business community—which makes up more than 80% of our membership—by helping them grow and thrive through collaborative networking, idea sharing, and identifying solutions to the challenges they experience. The SBA advocates for policies that support new and existing small businesses in a dynamic economy, safeguarding their long-term competitiveness and the retention of jobs. |

Small Business Day in Dover brings small business owners to the state’s capital to learn about important issues before the General Assembly and meet with legislators to hold educated conversations on how those policies could impact their employees and customers. Held every May, this experience also includes attending the House Small Business Caucus meeting and touring Legislative Hall.
