Calling all small-business owners! Post a selfie with your small business and receive a free business credit report.

COSTA MESA, Calif., Nov. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- As the busiest shopping season quickly approaches, small businesses everywhere are decking their halls and preparing to ring in the holidays. In honor of Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday, Experian^®, the leading global information services company, today announced a new Love My Small Biz program, offering small-business owners a free business credit report when they post a selfie with the hashtags #LoveMySmallBiz and #ShopSmall.

"Business owners are passionate about their businesses. We want to give them the opportunity to share that pride, as well as help position them for future success," said Hiq Lee, president of Experian's Business Information Services. "By proactively reviewing their business credit report, owners can gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the decisions affecting their enterprise. Having this insight empowers business owners to make smarter and more strategic choices, which will ultimately help to drive their business — and the economy — forward."

To participate in this new program, business owners must tweet a selfie featuring their small business and include the hashtag #LoveMySmallBiz and #ShopSmall. Small-business owners who tweet selfies with these hashtags will be eligible to receive their free business credit report, which is valued at up to $49.
