15 Under Fifteen is an awards program recognizing locally owned small businesses. To be eligible for recognition, the business must employ fewer than 15 employees and have been in business for more than two years. The selection process allows for 15 businesses to be named annually.
Celebrating the success of local businesses plays an important role in sending a message regionally and statewide that the Springfield metropolitan area is a great place to do business.
To insure that your nomination is considered for this year’s group, please submit your nominations by September 1. Any nominations that do not make the cutoff date will be kept for future programs.
Below is a listing of all previous selectees. Before submitting a nomination, please verify that the business you are wishing to nominate has not already been selected to a previous year. ~ Thank you.
