💡 Stay Powered, Stay Open: Centinel Launches Small Business Giveaway
Small businesses power our communities. They are the restaurants, shops, and service providers that keep local economies alive. But when the power goes out, these same businesses often face the greatest challenges: lost revenue, spoiled inventory, and the tough choice of closing their doors until the lights come back on. Too often, an extended power outage means closing the doors forever.
At Centinel, we believe every small business deserves the support and protection to stay resilient, no matter what the grid throws their way. That’s why we’re launching our “Stay Powered, Stay Open” Giveaway to both celebrate small businesses and spread awareness about how power outages impact them every day.
Why We’re Doing This
Power outages are on the rise across the U.S., with longer, more frequent disruptions caused by storms, grid failures, and extreme weather. For a small business, even a single 72-hour outage can mean thousands of dollars in lost income — and for some, the end of operations altogether.
Our Power-Protect Membership is designed to change that. Centinel automatically detects when a member experiences a qualifying power outage and provides fast financial relief to help keep the business running. But our mission goes beyond payouts, it’s about building a stronger, more prepared small business community.
This giveaway is one way we’re giving back and helping amplify the voices of the hardworking business owners who keep our neighborhoods going.
