Women entrepreneurs are job creators, community builder, and essential to NYC's economy! This #WomensHistoryMonth learn more about our WE NYC (Women Entrepreneurs New York City) initiative and #ShopYourCity using our map & guides of women-owned businesses!

The expansion of NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection’s one-on-one financial counseling services at SBS’s five main Workforce1 Career Center hubs in each borough will provide a one-stop-shop for New Yorkers to access free, professional, and confidential financial counseling, along with job readiness services and connections to workforce development training.

The dedicated NYC BEST team will serve as a single point of contact between City agencies and small businesses operating in the five boroughs. The initiative aims to save small businesses time and money by streamlining the many interactions required with City agencies and providing key advice to help business owners expedite permit and licensing processes and resolve or avoid fines and violations.

Neighborhood businesses keep New York going 24/7. Here are the top 3 ways you can support the small businesses that make our city a unique place to live:

1. Shop in person
2. Shop online
3. Buy a gift card
