​At Commerce Lexington's Salute to Small Business Awards Luncheon presented by Forcht Bank, 46Solutions was named the 2023 Small Business of the Year. The recipient of this year’s award in the Business Success Category, 46Solutions was chosen for the honor from three different category winners. The week-long celebration featured events, Facebook Live segments, and video vignettes of the category winners.

Established in 2019 by its parent company, the Davis H. Elliot Company and its vice president of I.T., Bob Fronk, 46Solutions provides technology services to homes and businesses in central Kentucky. Its residential solutions help homeowners by designing and installing high-quality audio and video systems, creating immersive entertainment experiences, and providing expert technical support and maintenance. Commercial services include managed I.T. services, cybersecurity, phone systems, cloud communication, and network consulting. In the four years since it was established, the business was forced to alter its business plan due to the COVID-19 pandemic, became profitable with 300% employee growth, captured significant market share from its competitors, and opened a state-of-the-art audio-video showroom in Lexington Green.
