LIZANNA Gordon, a local businesswoman, and her partner, Iona Perry, are set to host the ‘Elevate Shops Market Day,’ a new initiative aimed at creating a dynamic space for small business owners.
The event will take place on July 27th from 10:00 hours to 18:00 hours at Lot 23 John and Norton Street, Georgetown.
Entrepreneurs from across Guyana are invited to participate in this unique opportunity designed to help business minds evolve and expand their ventures. Supported by various sponsors, the event aims to provide a platform for entrepreneurs to interact with peers, foster a sense of community, and attract a broader clientele.

Gordon emphasised that ‘Elevate Shops’ is not just a platform but a springboard for small businesses. “We want to foster a collaborative community where entrepreneurs can connect, share ideas, and help each other grow,” she said. This market day is the first step in building that community.

The ‘Elevate Shops Market Day’ caters to a wide range of businesses, from crafted items to professional services such as accounting and social media management. Gordon highlighted the importance of registering diverse businesses to avoid unnecessary competition and

ensure a supportive environment.
“We believe it’s important to start small and grow from there,” Gordon explained. “Our goal is for ‘Elevate Shops’ to eventually have a physical location where small businesses can bring their products to the public and access various forms of assistance, such as packaging, business cards, and social media management.”
So far, ten small businesses have registered to exhibit their products at the market day, with additional slots available for interested participants. Those wishing to join can contact Gordon at 690-0630 or visit the Elevateshops Facebook page for more information.
