For anyone thinking about launching a start-up or opening a retail store, business owners don’t have to go at it alone. Even larger companies with a hundred employees that are looking to grow should know that there is a lot of help out there.
, or CalOSBA, is to support economic growth and innovation and ensure “that all California small businesses and innovative start-ups have the information and direct support they need to better navigate resources, programs and regulations,” the organization says.
CalOSBA offers newsletters, connections to small business centers across the state, training, webinars and information about grants, funding and various incentive programs. There are also resources for businesses to learn about government contracts as well as information about permits, licenses and regulations. Regarding local-level business resource centers, they are set up to help business owners and companies at any stage of development — from start-ups to mature businesses eyeing growth.
It’s important to note that all of these centers have trained staff and advisers who can also help connect business owners to resources outside of the organization itself. For example, they can help direct owners to local and regional economic development boards whose mission is to financially support businesses as they expand, make capital investments, and, especially, hire more employees.
