MBACC Member Resources

Small Business Resource Center

The Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce has more than 2,400 members, 80 percent of which have 50 or fewer employees. Our goal is to promote the interests of these small businesses by providing programs and services that encourage professional development and to help small businesses thrive.

"Two things that strike me about the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce: 1.) the level of professionalism and caring from the staff, 2.) the fun and diversity of the after hours gatherings. I have gotten my money's worth."

Join us for the Small Business Resource Forum presented by Coastal Area Small Business Development Center on March 15. This forum is free and open to the public!
