friendly climate of this
region on your behalf.
We understand what it
means to own, manage
and successfully run
a business. While
you’re busy growing
your business, making
products and services
better, meeting deadlines
— all while juggling
family responsibilities
and hopefully caring
for your health — let
our team of experienced
individuals cover local
regulations and new
state legislation on
your behalf. We’ll keep
you apprised of what
you need to know to
do business in Brevard
County.
Often times, small
business owners don’t
know what they don’t
know, especially in
the 2020 world of
technology in which
we live. If you are a
contractor with the
Department of Defense,
you have cyber security
compliance levels that
are unprecedented,
with the Cybersecurity
Maturity Model
Certification body being
approved and ready to
begin assessments.
The holidays are over and it’s back
to business. Owning a business
means constant pressure to grow,
meet payroll, deal with health
insurance decisions, be involved in the
community and comply with laws and
even be aware existed.
Enter your local Chamber of Commerce. We’ve got
your back.
We can ease your mind and remove stress when it
comes to business compliance with local government
and new state legislation. It’s so important to know
you have a Chamber that is advancing the business
If you are building a
home, are you aware
that due to the shortage
of skilled labor in
construction that it
might take up to nine
months currently
to build a mid-level
home? We’re working
to fill that gap of skilled
labor. How about your
lower-wage employees
— how are they making
it to work on time,
although they likely live
farther away from your
facility than your higher
paid workers? Public
transportation funding
and workforce/affordable
housing are issues we
are working to address
with your local and state
bodies of government.
Beyond those issues
are even larger issues
facing most, if not all,
communities across our
state and nation. When
massive problems arise
that have far-reaching
impacts on every
community stakeholder
— for instance
environmental concerns
plaguing a local body
of water, it is the power
of the united voice that
becomes the impetus for
action. Add your voice to
your local chamber and
be heard. And allow your
local chamber to speak
on your behalf, in your
favor, and you will surely
reap the positive rewards.
Partner with your
local chamber when it
comes to speaking up
for business friendly
regulations and laws, and
put your mind at ease.
