Community businesses

Community businesses are organizations that prioritize local needs over profit, often owned and operated by community members. They aim to benefit the local area through activities like providing services, employment, or supporting local suppliers. While they may generate revenue, their core goal is to improve community well-being, social cohesion, and sustainability. These businesses often reinvest profits back into the community, ensuring that economic benefits contribute to local development. Essentially, community businesses serve as engines for social good, balancing financial viability with positive impacts on residents and the neighborhood.
