North Georgia Small Business Network

There’s room at the table.

A community for North Georgia small business owners to make real connections, learn from one another, collaborate, share resources and grow together.

Our first gathering

Backroads After Hours

We're kicking things off with an easygoing meet & greet for the people behind North Georgia's small businesses. Come make a connection, swap an idea, find a resource and meet people you may end up doing business with for years.

No awkward elevator-pitch marathon. No exclusive industry seats.

Why Backroads & Business?

Built around community, not competition.

“No exclusive seats. Just more seats at the table.”

Backroads & Business began when Brenda and Becca started talking about what local networking could look like if it felt more useful, more welcoming and more connected to the small businesses that make North Georgia home.

They decided to build it together around one simple idea: everyone deserves a seat at the table.

What we're building

After-hours meet & greets, short practical lessons, business tours, roundtables, local resources and members sharing the oddly specific things they're really good at.

We'll rotate venues around North Georgia and keep one standard: there should always be a reason you were glad you came.

More than a meetup

Bring something to the table.

Connect

Build referral relationships and meet the people behind local businesses.

Share

Teach, demonstrate, join a roundtable or share a useful resource.

Host or support

Host a gathering, volunteer, sponsor, donate a prize or help with a community project.
