The South Florida Business Choice Awards: Celebrating Small Businesses, Big Impact
At The Biz People, our heart has always been rooted in one mission: to recognize and honor the small business owners who are creating real impact in their communities, no matter their revenue, size, or stage of growth.
We believe that greatness isn’t measured only in numbers. It’s measured in courage, consistency, creativity, and the willingness to wake up every day and build something meaningful. And that is exactly why the South Florida Business Choice Awards were created.
How It All Started
Last year, we launched the very first South Florida Business Choice Awards with a simple but powerful intention:
To spotlight the extraordinary local businesses who often go unnoticed, but who contribute so much.
We started with just 10 awards, and honestly, we didn’t know what to expect.
What happened next exceeded every hope we had:
✔ 15 amazing vendors
✔ 80 attendees
✔ A room full of inspiration, celebration, and connection
✔ A powerful reminder that South Florida’s entrepreneurial community is unstoppable
The energy was electric. Business owners shared stories, celebrated wins, and connected with one another. The turnout and support showed us just how needed and meaningful this event truly is.
Recognizing Local Impact, One Business at a Time.
What’s New for the 2025 Awards
For this year’s 2025 South Florida Business Choice Awards, we decided to take things in a fresh new direction…
🎉 We’re going fully virtual + fully digital!
Why?
Because we’re preparing for something big — a full-scale, in-person party for the 2026 awards.
Going virtual this year allows us to expand, experiment, and creatively highlight our finalists in new and exciting ways.
And here’s where it gets really fun:
