All of these businesses have been in operation for at least six months, and many of them have been profitable for much longer. They have invested time, energy, and passion in order to bring their unique talents and gifts to our community through their business enterprises. Enterprise for Equity is proud to showcase them here.

Buying their products and services will keep your consumer dollars local, and foster the creation of an inclusive local economy in the South Sound. You can contact each of them directly through the contact information listed on their individual pages.
