What We Do
The Small Business Support Initiative (TSBSI) was started in 2022 to highlight small businesses around the world and help share their stories and provide resources with our communities. Our mission is to elevate these businesses by increasing visibility and fostering connections that can help them thrive.

Small businesses often provide the highest quality services and products, all while supporting local communities. By focusing on these businesses, we not only help them grow but also support the economy and help create meaningful connections within our neighborhoods.
Established in 2022
In response to the struggles small businesses faced, especially during the pandemic, TSBSI began by offering free shoutouts via Instagram Stories. What started as a simple gesture of support quickly evolved into a broader mission. We expanded our reach to include posts and promotions across multiple social media platforms, all aimed at increasing visibility and creating a global network for small businesses.
About Us
The Small Business Support Initiative was born out of the global challenges small businesses faced during the pandemic. As restrictions tightened and customer numbers dwindled, businesses around the world were struggling to stay afloat. Conversations with business owners highlighted the urgent need for support, and we stepped in to offer a helping hand.
Our Goal
Our goal is simple yet powerful: to create a free platform that showcases small businesses from around the world. Through daily visits and a strong social media presence, we aim to promote businesses, share the inspiring stories of their owners, and build a global network that supports and empowers small businesses.
Meet the Founder
Inspired by the pandemic’s impact on small businesses, I founded The Small Business Support Initiative (TSBSI)Rishi Shah, while I was a student at Sayreville War Memorial High School. My mission was to support businesses during one of the most difficult periods in recent history.
The idea for TSBSI came to life as I was starting high school, recognizing the need for small businesses to strengthen their digital presence. As many businesses turned to social media, I saw the potential to help them establish a stronger online footprint. My passion for helping others became the foundation of this initiative.
Under my leadership, TSBSI has successfully guided over 573+ small businesses, helping them navigate and flourish in the digital world. Our dedication to enhancing their visibility and success has had a profound impact, turning challenges into opportunities and connecting businesses with new audiences globally.
