At InUnison, we believe local, independent businesses are the heartbeat of distinct, vibrant communities. But unlike big franchises, they often don’t have the same resources or roadmap. That’s where we come in. We're here to connect, advocate, and provide the support and exposure these businesses need to thrive. Together, we build stronger communities, one local business at a time.

In a recent commentary for Richmond BizSense, our President Nancy Thomas, highlights the powerful connection between tourism and local business success.
