ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS HAWAII

Creating a Better Hawaii Through Private Enterprise

Small Business Hawaii (SBH) is unique in the U.S. among business and trade associations. It began in order to provide effective advocacy for growing numbers of very small businesses (five employees or less). But SBH accepts within its membership any size business interested in working to improve Hawaii's business climate for all. It is the only completely private, independent, statewide small business association operated entirely by business owners, for business owners. Its influence in business issues, such as, taxation, mandated benefits, health care, privatization and educational partnerships, has crossed America and gone international.

SBH's mission is dedication to promoting a better Hawaii through private, competitive, networked small businesses. SBH aims to foster job creation, reduce taxes, government regulations, and business costs, while promoting, educating, and effectively fighting for Hawaii's small business community.
