GoDaddy | Microbusiness

They’re the people who build websites, run restaurants, and teach online classes. They power local economies and national growth but their impact often goes unrecognized. Our mission is to change that. 

Through tools, support, and research from the GoDaddy Small Business Research Lab, we spotlight micro and small business owners, often working alone or in teams of fewer than 10 — and elevate their role in shaping communities, innovation, and opportunity.
