At the PA Chamber, we deeply value the economic and cultural contributions of small businesses across the Commonwealth. They are the backbone of Pennsylvania’s economy – and the majority of our 12,000+ members! In that spirit, we were proud to launch the inaugural 2025 Small Business of the Year Awards this year. The awards invited Pennsylvania small businesses to apply for the award that exemplifies the qualities that make these businesses, the people who work for them, and the communities where they’re located thrive.
