Last night, we welcomed the Columbia Chamber of Commerce<\/a>, the Columbia, MO, community and our friends and family to the SuretyBonds.com office for our Small Business Week Open House event. We hosted a giveaway for a mini iPad and various SuretyBonds.com-branded items. We also offered complimentary pizza from the CoMo Dough Woodfired Pizza truck and drinks to our guests.<\/p>\n

Because SuretyBonds.com is a Small Business of the Year finalist, the event kicked off with a ribbon cutting, which was a great way to celebrate our office expansion that took place in February of this year. Our founder and CEO, Josh Kayser, welcomed everyone to the office and gave a short speech about how much SuretyBonds.com has grown over the years. Various members of the SuretyBonds.com gave tours to our visitors and talked about our company culture and why they love working at SuretyBonds.com.<\/p>\n

Today, the Columbia Chamber will announce the Small Business of the Year at a celebratory luncheon at the Tiger Hotel. Several members of the SuretyBonds.com team will be present at the luncheon.<\/p>\n

SuretyBonds.com would like to thank the Chamber, our fellow nominees, and the Columbia community. We’re proud and honored to be included in such an impressive, deserving group of small businesses and the Columbia small business community as a whole.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
