America’s Commerce Corps is a movement to rebuild the heartbeat of our communities. We unite local businesses, towns, and banks with the tools, data, and partnerships they need to grow stronger together. By stripping away the noise of big tech and bringing commerce back to the people, we’re empowering communities to take control of their future and thrive on their own terms.
We know local business, because we are one
With over 30 years of firsthand experience running a local business, we understand the challenges and opportunities Main Street faces better than anyone. We’ve navigated changing economies, evolving technologies, and the realities of building lasting community connections. This lived experience shapes everything we do, ensuring America’s Commerce Corps delivers tools and solutions that truly work for local businesses because we are one ourselves.
LOCAL BUSINESSES = STRONG COMMUNITIES
Local businesses shape the identity of a community by providing jobs, keeping resources local, and fostering connections that make towns stronger. Supporting them invests in families, schools, and opportunities that help communities thrive for generations.
