FAQ
What is LB Small Biz?
LB Small Biz is a website built to support and promote Long Beach, CA small businesses. Right now our main objective is to provide a directory of local businesses being negatively impacted by the spread of the COVID-19, in hopes of giving small business owners a way to communicate how best to support them during this difficult time, as well as making it easier for the community to support their favorite local businesses.
Why isn’t my favorite business on your site?
If a Long Beach small business is not already listed, it’s because no one has added it yet. If you’d like to add a business to our site, you can do it here.
