Take Action
COSE alone represents more than 17,000 small businesses in Northeast Ohio, and if COSE members were to add up their employee numbers, COSE would be the largest employer in the region. For three decades, COSE has worked hard to call attention to the needs of small business.
The one constant in COSE’s ability to make a difference has been the active involvement of our members in the work that we do and the decisions we make. COSE is an organization for business owners, led by business owners. Our work focuses on removing the barriers to small business success and creating new opportunities.
We urge you to join us in our efforts and do your part to move our state forward.
