First Hour Free is a unique program exclusively available at the Chamber of Commerce of Cape Coral that brings members together. It is a member resource that brings business experts together with members who need business assistance.
How it Works
Members businesses who agree to be experts will be marketed with the First Hour Free logo under their business category in the business directory here on the website. Members who need business counseling in that member area of expertise can make arrangements with that member for one hour of free consultation. If additional time is required, then those members negotiate the details of a longer term agreement.
If you would like your business listed as a First Hour Free business, complete the below applications and submit to stephanie@capecoralchamber.com. Questions can be directed to Stephanie Roberson, Technology Director at (239) 699-8442.
