One request. Real small businesses.
You don't need to know the difference between embroidery, screen printing, DTF, or sublimation. Tell us what you need — we'll figure out who can make it.
Tell us what you need
Describe your project in plain language and upload a photo, logo, artwork, sketch, screenshot, or inspiration image. Quantity, timeline, and budget are all optional if you're not sure yet.
We find small businesses and makers that fit
MadeBySmall reviews your project by hand and looks through our network for independent businesses capable of handling it — the right production method, capacity, and location.
You choose who you work with
We help connect you with interested small businesses and makers so you can compare, ask questions, and decide. The final choice is always yours.
You don't need to be a production expert.
Here are a few common questions we hear from first-time customers.
"I don't know what production method I need."
That's fine — pick "Not Sure" on the project form, or just describe what you're picturing. We'll help match it to the right capability.
"I only have a logo, not a finished design."
Upload whatever you have — a logo, a screenshot, even a rough sketch. Reference material helps small businesses and makers understand your project faster.
"I don't know how many I need yet."
You can mark quantity as "not sure yet." An exact number helps, but it isn't required to get started.
"Is this a marketplace where I place an order online?"
Not yet. Today, MadeBySmall reviews each project by hand and helps connect you directly with a small business or maker — you finalize details and pricing together.
Small business doesn't mean small capability.
