Several large corporations sponsor Fox Business Network initiatives focused on small and medium-sized businesses.
Fox Business will award three small businesses each with $25,000 and feature on a special program that will be streamed on Fox Nation. This effort is supported by Comcast Business and JPMorgan Chase.
Business owners and customers can submit their favorite small businesses at smallbusinessawards2026.com from Thursday, March 12 through Sunday, March 30. Ten finalists will be identified and chosen via online fan voting between Monday, April 13th and Sunday, April 19th, followed by a final vote by a panel of Fox Business judges.
The panel discussion will include Maria Bartiromo, anchor of Fox Business’ “Mornings With Maria.” Larry Kudrow anchors a feature hour at 4 p.m. Charles Payne, host of “Making Money with Charles Payne.” Brian Bremberg, co-host of “The Bottom Line,” and Dagen McDowell, also co-host of “The Bottom Line.”
Winners will be announced on-air during Small Business Week starting Monday, May 4, and will receive prizes and oversized checks. Finalists will receive a window decal for their business.
Fox Business Network has long sought to operate at the intersection of Wall Street and Main Street. But Fox News Media, a division of Fox Inc. that runs the business news network, is also keeping an eye on small businesses. They’re part of a new category of advertisers that Fox is starting to focus more on, looking for entrepreneurs and veterans who might support patriotic themes. Today’s winners could be tomorrow’s customers.
