Are you a small business owner looking to grow, scale or expand your business? Have you established a solid foundation but struggled to reach the next stage? Would you welcome guidance from business experts who have faced the same challenges you have and come out on top? Then it’s time to THRIVE.
THRIVE 2.0 is a small business growth initiative offered by the Business High Point Chamber of Commerce, designed to help entrepreneurs and small business owners build stronger, more sustainable businesses. We provide structured coaching, technical business education, and strategic connections that drive operational discipline, revenue growth, and long-term success.
The program is designed as a focused, 12-month growth pathway for start-ups and small businesses. Throughout the year, participants work through a structured process to build the systems, strategies, and confidence needed to operate and grow effectively. At the conclusion of the program, businesses transition into Chamber membership equipped with greater clarity, stability, and readiness for continued expansion.
Our approach is tailored to your business’s individual needs, helping you build systems that support real, measurable growth. Because when small businesses strengthen, our local economy strengthens with them.
Since its inception, THRIVE has worked with more than 660 local businesses and counting through the following programs, all provided at no cost to THRIVE members.
Co-Working Wednesdays are virtual one-on-one sessions designed to support your most pressing business needs. Schedule a 30-minute online meeting for personalized guidance and strategic problem solving.
The virtual format makes it easy to connect, saves time, and keeps support accessible no matter where you are. Bring your questions, your challenges, and your ideas. We will work through them together.
