Welcome to the Annual Central Texas Micro-Business Awards!

This year, again, we are gathered to celebrate the hard work, diligence, creativity and passion of entrepreneurs in Central Texas.

The BiG AUSTIN team is honored to have worked this past year with entrepreneurs in Central Texas to ensure their growth and sustainability through quality training and access to small business loans.

This past year, BiG AUSTIN expanded the reach of its services offered in the community through the inauguration of a new headquarters. The new headquarters in located at 912 Bastrop Highway (at corner of 183 South and Ben White) in a Wells Fargo Bank building. BiG AUSTIN has retained 4100 Ed Bluestein as the training site. Since the inauguration of the new headquarters, the number of inquiries about financial and training services offered at BiG AUSTIN has steadily increased.

Serving the needs of small businesses in Central Texas is a community affair. Your support, encouragement, and generous contributions of time and resources have been invaluable to us and the clients that we serve. Thank you!

We welcome you to continue your active partnership with BiG AUSTIN so that together we can provide the much needed resources, expertise, access to capital and quality training that entrepreneurs and small business owners need to develop, grow and sustain their businesses.
