For Georgia’s small businesses, growth often depends on making the right connections: finding a resource that strengthens operations, building a relationship that opens a door or reaching a buyer who needs what they offer.
The Georgia Business Council (GBC) is introducing two initiatives to help businesses make those connections: GBC Small Business Membership and a partnership supporting the launch of InProcure, a free virtual marketplace connecting buyers with suppliers.
Together, the initiatives expand access to the Council’s business community and create another avenue for small businesses to reach prospective customers.
A New Way to Connect, Engage and Grow
GBC Small Business Membership reflects the Council’s expansion to serve Georgia’s broader small business ecosystem. It provides a new way for entrepreneurs and business owners to engage with GBC and access relationships, business resources, industry connections and opportunities designed to help their companies grow and compete.
Running a business requires owners to balance immediate demands with long-term development. Finding useful resources and building connections can be difficult when daily operations already require so much attention. The new membership offers a way to become part of a business community that supports those efforts.
By broadening access, GBC is creating more opportunities for small businesses to connect with people and organizations that can support their next stage of growth.
Business owners can learn more about GBC Small Business Membership at www.georgiacouncil.org/membership.
Connecting Small Businesses With Buyers
GBC is also partnering with InProcure to announce the launch of a free virtual marketplace that connects small businesses with organizations looking to purchase products and services.
Through InProcure, small businesses can showcase their offerings to corporations, government agencies, counties, school districts and other purchasing organizations. The platform helps connect buyers with suppliers based on their purchasing needs and is free for both buyers and small businesses.
For suppliers, that creates another way to put their capabilities in front of potential customers. For buyers, it provides a place to find businesses offering the products and services they need.
The purpose is practical: help small businesses spend less time searching for the right opportunity and more time doing business.
Small businesses and purchasing organizations can explore the marketplace at inprocure.ai.
Turning Connections Into Business Opportunities
The two initiatives address related needs. GBC Small Business Membership gives business owners a new way to access relationships and resources that support growth. InProcure provides a marketplace where they can showcase their offerings and connect with prospective buyers.
For Georgia businesses seeking to expand their networks, strengthen their visibility and reach new customers, these initiatives offer additional ways to take that next step.
GBC invites small business owners to explore membership and encourages both suppliers and buyers to participate in InProcure. Building a stronger business ecosystem requires participation on both sides: businesses ready to deliver and organizations ready to purchase.
