Most small businesses fail within the first five years. Small businesses receiving Mousetrap awards from SCORE Cape Cod must have survived the first five years and appear to be headed for long-term success. Chambers of commerce participate in any given year depending on whether they can identify a member who satisfies these basic criteria.

Congratulations to the 15 annual Mousetrap Award winners, honored by Cape Cod SCORE, after being nominated by their respective chambers of commerce. One thing each business has in common: they have survived for at least five years, not an easy accomplishment among startups. Now they appear poised for long-term success. They also contribute significantly to their communities.
