The FLARE Awards by The Small Business Hub aren’t your typical awards—they’re a bold, unapologetic celebration of women redefining what success looks like in small business.
This isn’t about ticking boxes or collecting trophies.
It’s about real women making real moves—innovating, leading, collaborating, and shaking up their industries with vision and grit.
Whether you're the creative force behind a growing brand, a quiet achiever building momentum, or the powerhouse others turn to for support, the FLARE Awards are where your work gets seen, celebrated, and amplified.
Each category has been carefully curated to reflect not just business excellence, but impact—on your community, your industry, and the people you serve. We don’t believe in gatekeeping. We believe in spotlighting the women lighting the path for others.
Because at the Small Business Hub, we don’t just celebrate success—we redefine it. Together.
