Community Business Connector - Seattle Metro Chamber

A Hub of Small Business Liaisons

Community Business Connector (CBC) is the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce’s commitment to regional collaboration by delivering small business support services throughout King County communities.

As the designated King County Associate Development Organization (ADO) funded in part by the Washington State Department of Commerce and local funders, such as the Port of Seattle, King County, city partners, and company sponsors, the Chamber is uniquely positioned to strengthen partner networks in our dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The Chamber works closely with local partners to offer personalized support and matching small businesses and service providers together. In this effort, CBC received the Washington Economic Development Association Award for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the Excellence in Economic Development Silver Award for Regional and Cross-Border Partnership from International Economic Development Council.
