Small businesses are big business. They make up the vast majority of U.S. businesses, with more than 36.2 million small businesses employing 45.9% of private sector workers, per the U.S. Small Business Administration.

May 4-8 marks Small Business Week, a time to recognize the grit and determination that goes into running a business. First Commerce Credit Union launched Elevate Business with small- and mid-sized employers and their employees in mind.

For many small and mid-size businesses, holistic wellness benefits have often felt out of reach.

Elevate Business was created to help close that gap. It combines no-cost financial education with optional wellness benefit solutions, designed to provide employees and their families with practical, consistent support to build confidence, stability, and a better future.
