About Us
A Cedar Rapids Locally Owned Company
NCA Enterprise was created with the sole intent of helping the Cedar Rapids locally owned businesses. We all are aware of the downturn in the economy and the devastating flood in 2008, and NCA Enterprise wants to help by promoting locally owned businesses through the only website that is dedicated exclusively for this purpose. While researching a way for customers to easily and quickly identify which businesses are locally owned, we discovered there wasn't a clear source containing this information. As a big proponent of supporting our local economy, NCA Enterprise decided it was time to offer a one stop source. As we continue to get the word out about this important resource, we are offering business listings for FREE and encourage the locally owned businesses to spread the news of this website (LocalShoppingCedarRapids.com) to your peers in the area.
Without locally owned businesses, the greater community will be far less prosperous. Local stores recycle a larger share of their sales back into the local economy than do the large chain stores. Locally owned businesses spend more of their revenue on local labor to carry out management functions on-site, rather than at a far away corporate headquarters. Local retailers spend approximately twice as much than the large chain stores buying goods and services from other local businesses. They bank locally; hire local accountants, attorneys, and other professionals; and advertise in the local media. Locally owned business owners live in the greater Cedar Rapids community and a larger portion of the local retailers’ profits stay within the local economy. And let’s not forget that added dollars circulating in the local economy translates into a larger number of local jobs.
We encourage both customers and locally owned business owners to be a part of this website by supporting the use of it for the betterment of the Cedar Rapids community.
