RURAL COMMUNITIES WITH

Our Partners

TEACHING BUSINESSES

Step-by-step training for small businesses. We take the guess work out of your business and help you create a business with the freedom, income, and achievement that you have always dreamed of. 

 

We know what it is like to work 80 hour weeks and barely make ends meet. You do not have to live that way anymore. 

STRENGTHENING CITIES

We believe that rural cities can be so much more than a tourist destination. Your city is capable of becoming a self-sustaining, local shopping, people caring center where citizens want to live. 

 

You are in control of your city's future - shape it into something incredible.

OUR MISSION

Strengthen and support rural economies

through business education and executed economic development plans that do not rely on tourism.

Helping Each Other

GETTING RESULTS

Everything is easier when you work together, rural communities are no exception.

  • Locals first. Creating an amazing place to live for current residents should always take the highest priority. 

  • Exports over tourism. Things have changed a lot over the last 20 years. Small towns are no longer forced to rely on tourism for "outside money."

  • Reaching further. We focus on helping small, rural businesses reach and sell further and small, rural communities find connections all over the country.

  • Fighting apathy. We help community members care about their cities, take action, and help lead the future of their small town. 

"I had NO idea all of this was possible until our discussion. [Small Town Hub] knows that they are talking about, is passionate about what they are doing, and definitely enjoyable to work with.  

 

... had my most successful year yet, in spite of the pandemic.
Thanks Kara and Small Town Hub!"
