Small businesses make up the bedrock of almost every economy. However, collaboration, smooth flow of operations, and competitiveness continue to be uphillbattles for these small businesses within a rapidly shifting digital landscape. This research focused on the creation of an innovative application that enhances collaboration, communication, and resource sharing to empower small businesses. The proposed application will use the latest technologies, such as cloud computing and real-time data synchronization, to create a seamless ecosystem for small business owners, employees, and external partners. Core features include task management, document sharing, real-time communication, and integration with existing business tools. The app will focus on user-centric design and scalability to address the diverse needs of small businesses across various industries. This study uses a mixed-method approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative research methods, to identify pain points in the collaboration of small businesses. Through interviews, surveys, and case studies, this research explores how technology can enhance efficiency, lower costs, and improve decision-making. This paper adds to the growing body of knowledge about digital solutions for small businesses, offering practicalinsights for developers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers.
