The 6 Best Small Business Week Deals for Entrepreneurs

Spanning from April 28 to May 4, Small Business Week is a celebration of American entrepreneurs hosted by the Small Business Administration. The event provides small businesses visibility and highlights how these companies have impacted their local communities. Founders can participate in the SBA's free virtual summit from April 30 to May 1 with Zoom sessions hosted by companies like Visa, T-Mobile and Amazon. 

Businesses looking to expand their phone plans can take advantage of T-Mobile's new "Business Unlimited Package." The deal offers phone lines at $45 monthly with a minimum of six lines. For Small Business Week, new small businesses using this package can add 10 or more lines to get a credit of $1,000 via 36-monthly bill credits. Businesses also have the option to earn up to $1,000 via 24-monthly bill credits and use it for any new smartphone per line when they add 10 lines. 

Owners can get Amazon Business Prime Essentials free for a year by having at least three active lines on the following T-Mobile plans: Business Unlimited Edge, Business Unlimited Ultimate, Go5G Business Next, or Go5G Business Plus. Business Prime Essentials offers features to help small businesses run smoothly on Amazon, like free shipping on eligible orders and access to consumer spending analytics.

T-Mobile will also distribute $50,000 to five small businesses that win its Small Business Week sweepstakes. To enter, businesses must fill out a form and share their business challenges, investment interests, and customer service experience. 

During the SBA's virtual Small Business Summit, T-Mobile will host two sessions: "Securing Your Small Business in a Work-From-Anywhere World" and "Small Business Strategies for Collaboration and Productivity." The summit will occur on April 30 and May 1.
