About
We are a group of small business owners and community members. We want to make sure San Francisco is a great place to own, operate and work at a small business. To do this, we suggest ways the City can better support the small business community, including taking positions on laws that will impact small businesses and sharing our ideas with the Mayor and Board of Supervisors.
