Brooklyn pols praise Small Business Services outreach to immigrants
Newcomers important to economic vitality, Menchaca says
Nearly half of the small businesses in New York City are owned by immigrants. And the de Blasio administration is stepping up its efforts to help them prosper.
The New York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS) has introduced a new guide that offers step-by-step advice for immigrant entrepreneurs who are planning, launching or growing a small business.
Called “Building Your Business in New York City: A Guide for Immigrant Entrepreneurs,” the guide was developed by SBS in partnership with Citi Community Development.
