Leveraging Technology to Compete Big this Small Business Saturday

Small Business Saturday is just around the corner! The special day, celebrated this year on Saturday, November 30, shines a spotlight on small businesses and their vital contributions to our local economy. Whether you're a local retail shop, service provider, or entrepreneur, Small Business Saturday is your time to attract customers and showcase the value you bring to the community.

Did you know that small businesses comprise 99.9% of all U.S. businesses? As the backbone of the American economy, they play a crucial role in driving growth and innovation. Small businesses create two out of every three new jobs, fostering local employment and development. When you shop small, the impact extends beyond a single purchase – a significant portion of every dollar stays within the local economy, supporting wages, reinvestment, and community services.

Comcast Business is deeply committed to empowering small businesses by offering the latest technology and the specialized connectivity and security expertise needed to thrive in today’s competitive landscape. The company understands that small businesses face unique challenges, whether staying connected with customers, managing operations efficiently, or adapting to evolving market demands.

To be a trusted partner every step of the way, Comcast Business ensures that businesses stay connected and grow, innovate, and reach their full potential.

One such business is Oregon's DoveLewis, initially founded to support local veterinarians and animals needing emergency care. It treats nearly 30,000 animals each year. Founded over 50 years ago, the non-profit organization is now much more than that. It also provides specialty medicine and serves as a hub for education, support, and community.

Just as pet owners trust DoveLewis to take care of their animals, DoveLewis trusts Comcast Business to provide cyber security solutions, a customized network design, and fast and reliable internet connectivity that allows them to focus on caring for the Portland community and its pets 24/7.

Known for its excellent friendly service and strong community ties, DoveLewis exemplifies the power of small businesses in building personal connections and enriching local life.
