Small Business
Office of Small Business Advocacy
New Jersey’s small businesses are a critical component of New Jersey’s economy. In fact, the State ranks 11th in the number of small businesses in the U.S., with over 861,000 enterprises and counting. That’s impressive, considering New Jersey ranks 47th in size! The State is spearheading programs that make it easier for small businesses to flourish, including free small business consulting services offered by the New Jersey Business Action Center. If you’re ready to launch or grow your venture, New Jersey is proactive and pro-business. Our office also hosts “Resource for Growth” events throughout the year that match business owners with state and county representatives, lenders, and community partners, including the New Jersey Small Business Development Center and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority.
