Small Business Saturday is a powerful idea: a day to support the local businesses that bring character and connection to our communities. 

But at Durable, we’re not just thinking about shopping small. We’re thinking about the people behind the scenes who make it all possible. 

Last week, we hosted Durable’s first-annual, invite-only retreat for business owners — 25 leaders who collectively represent more than 500 jobs and over $100M in revenue. They came up to White’s Ranch in Cache Valley for one reason: to step out of the business long enough to think clearly about it.

If you're running a business in Utah, chances are you've heard about SBA loans. But what are they, really? And are they worth exploring for your company? What is important to know?

Failure is part of business — but too often hidden.

At Durable, Utah’s Business Commons, we’re opening real conversations about setbacks, bankruptcy, and resilience so small business owners don’t have to face hard times alone.

Durable is Utah’s Business Commons — a gathering place for business owners. Connect through curated events, peer groups, and a supportive community built to help you grow.
