Do Business Here
The Chamber of Commerce believes that healthy businesses are as central to a thriving community as good schools and safe streets. Mill Valley has all three. With its multiple business/retail areas located within short distances of each other, a charming Downtown, close proximity to San Francisco and other Bay Area centers, Mill Valley attracts many locals and visitors with an outstanding mix of retail, service and entertainment businesses.

If you’re starting, purchasing, or expanding a retail, service, or home-based business in Mill Valley, we encourage you to do your homework on our demographics and City planning policies and regulations. The following sources can be of great help. The Chamber of Commerce is happy to be a resource. Please contact us if you need more information.

There's no better place to start than becoming a chamber member. We'll help you navigate and network as you grow your business. Here are some helpful links.
