NYC Business Solutions is at the forefront of the Agency's effort to provide direct assistance to business owners throughout the five boroughs. Mayor Bloomberg launched NYC Business Solutions in 2004, to ensure that the City's more the 200,000 small businesses have easy access to free, quick, and reliable information on a range of critical business issues.

We'll work with you if you have a new business or if you have been in business for years. We'll answer your questions, help you develop a business plan, secure financing, and access City benefits. We'll support your expansion by working with you to locate available space, identify money-saving incentive programs, access procurement opportunities, and recruit qualified employees. We'll cut the red tape for you by being your liaison when you need to resolve issues with other City agencies.
