FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 5, 2022  /PRNewswire/ -- Valor, a professional service provider specializing in mineral rights management and software-based business solutions, was recently honored as a "Small Business of the Year" by the Fort Worth Chamber (FWC). Valor placed first in the category of businesses with 21-50 total employees, where all nominees must have been locally established for a minimum of three years. According to the Fort Worth Chamber, this prestigious award is bestowed upon small businesses that have demonstrated exemplary best practices of entrepreneurship, sound business planning, fiscal responsibility, and work process innovation within the company's operations.

"Being awarded a 'Small Business of the Year' by the Fort Worth Chamber is an incredible honor and we're humbled to have been selected," stated Joseph DeWoody, CEO of Valor.

The Fort Worth Chamber has been producing the annual Small Business of the Year (SBOY) awards since 1998. The award categories include small businesses of 1-20 employees, 21-50 employees, 51-100 employees, and emerging businesses. According to the judging criteria, these Fort Worth-based small businesses are considered based on their talent (40% weighted), successful pivots during Covid-19 (25%), diversity, equality, and inclusion policies (20%), and their level of community involvement (15%). Each company's nomination included a section for each of these judging categories and winners were notified earlier this month.
