City of Birmingham: Office of Business Diversity & Opportunity

Success looks different for everyone, but the goal is the same: Impact. We’re here to help Birmingham’s small businesses turn vision into reality. 🚀

Behind every small business in Birmingham is a story of resilience, vision, and hard work. We’re excited to create a space where those stories, experiences, and ideas can help shape conversations surrounding economic opportunity and the future of business throughout our city.

As one of the oldest family-owned retailers in the nation, Bromberg’s Jewelers has shaped Birmingham’s story for more than a century.

Founded in 1836 and established in Birmingham in the early 1900s, Bromberg’s is renowned for fine jewelry, watches, gifts, and exceptional customer service.

With deep roots in Mountain Brook and across the metro area, Bromberg’s has supported generations of life moments—from engagements and anniversaries to community celebrations.
Its legacy remains one of craftsmanship, family tradition, and enduring presence.

Your network is your net worth. 🤝 Building a business can feel isolating, but in Birmingham, you don't have to do it alone.

Connecting with resource partners, fellow founders, and OBDO staff is one of the most powerful steps you can take for your enterprise. Let's build a stronger ecosystem together!

Big conversations surrounding Birmingham’s business community are on the horizon.

The 2026 State of Small Business will create space for meaningful dialogue, valuable insights, and important conversations surrounding entrepreneurship, economic development, innovation, and the future of Birmingham’s small business ecosystem.
