CAMEO

CAMEO's mission is to grow a healthy, vibrant, thriving environment for all entrepreneurs and start-up businesses by advancing the work of our statewide member network. Our vision is to create economic opportunity for all entrepreneurs, to build wealth and strong California communities. Our member organizations provide entrepreneurs with small and micro-business financing such as loans and credit, technical assistance and business management training. CAMEO members annually serve 15,000 very small businesses with training, business and credit assistance and loans. These firms – largely start-ups with less than five employees – support or create 35,000 new jobs in California. These very small businesses create a total of $1billion in economic activity. Federal taxes paid increased 35% over a five-year period. Local small businesses have a multiplier effect on their local economies that is twice that of big national chains.
