June 20, 2022
‘Tis the season for celebrations, and 25 area small businesses have one more reason to celebrate.
An independent panel of judges has selected the honorees for Thinking Bigger Business Media Inc.’s 25 Under 25 Awards. These are Kansas City-area for-profit businesses that have been in operation for at least three years and have fewer than 25 full-time (or full-time equivalent) employees.
The purpose of this award is to recognize outstanding small businesses, which are critical to the economy: 89.4 percent of U.S. businesses have 20 or fewer employees, according to 2014 U.S. Census data.
25 Under 25 Award
For this award, companies are judged on financial stability, ability to overcome adversity and challenges, community involvement, distinguishing or defining characteristics, and company vision.
Winners will be recognized at a black-tie dinner and gala Feb. 24 at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown Muehlebach Tower. Tickets go on sale Jan. 1. For tickets and other information about the gala and awards, visit www.25under25.com.
