Belton Chosen as a Host for the 2025 Governor’s Small Business Summit

## Small Business Wave Hits Belton

Well, hold on to your hats, folks. Fifteen cities are about to see an influx of entrepreneurs. Yes, **Belton** has made the list, and that ain’t no small fry deal. On November 13, 2025, the town will host the Governor’s Small Business Summit, a big event for local movers and shakers.

### It’s Happening in Belton

According to [the Governor’s Office](https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-announces-2025-governors-small-business-summit-host-cities), the summit is about mingling and learning. Business whizzes will gather from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. And for a mere 20 bucks, it’s a steal. This ain’t just about Belton, though. It’s one of 15 spots stepping up to the plate.

### Lone Star Success Stories

Governor Abbott, a cheerleader for small businesses, sure made it clear. “Small businesses are the beating heart of Texas,” he said, echoing the state’s reputation as a business hub. Quick trivia: Texas is a giant playground with over 3.3 million small businesses. That’s nearly half the working Texans pulling in a paycheck, if you’re counting.

In Abbott’s words, Texas is “leading the nation in small business growth.” So, kudos to Belton and the other 14 champs for stepping up to host. If you’re hustling in any of those places, it’s your time to shine. Abbott urged entrepreneurs to soak it all in and take advantage of what’s on the table.
