At the Hendersonville Chamber, we believe small business is serious business.  That's why we've created the Business Navigator and the Business Accelerator Program. These tools will be your point of connection with the information, services and support you need to launch your new venture and make it thrive.

The Business Accelerator Program has been developed to utilize current Hendersonville Chamber resources to provide an environment that will assist local entrpreneurs in the start-up phase of their companies. The goal of this program will be to provide support necessary to increase the probability of contiunued success of these companies as they grow into viable economic resources for the community.

This program was designed around the theory that businesses struggle most within the first two years of operation due in some part to the lack of support and accountability.
