Cobb County is home to some of the fastest-growing small businesses in the region. As a pro-business advocacy organization, the Cobb Chamber is committed to meeting and exceeding the needs of small business owners. Each year, the Chamber celebrates the achievements of small businesses that contribute to the vitality of the community with the announcement of its Top 25 Small Businesses of the Year. The Chamber is proud to honor the following businesses as its 2019 Top 25 Small Businesses of the Year:

An overall winner will be selected among the Top 25 and announced on May 6 at the Small Business of the Year Breakfast at the Cobb Galleria Centre. The top winner is determined by a thorough selection process including applications and site visits by a panel of outside judges. The breakfast will honor the Top 25 Small Businesses of the Year and the Small Business Hall of Fame inductees.

Additionally, the Cobb Chamber has expanded the Small Business of the Year program to include recognition for the impressive accomplishments of many new Cobb businesses and startups with the Businesses To Watch awards. These are businesses that have launched three years ago or less and have already achieved substantial growth.
