Business Solutions Center
Business assistance starts here
The City of Sacramento has launched the Business Solutions Center, a new resource hub offering free expert guidance, funding opportunities and data tools to help local small businesses succeed.
The Business Solutions Center consolidates multiple small business services into a single, streamlined program. It delivers personalized, one-on-one support for entrepreneurs looking to build a business plan, expand operations, access capital, or navigate permitting and licensing.
Everything you need to grow
Through the Business Solutions Center, you can:
- Connect with a business expert for free one-on-one consultations tailored to your goals
- Access SizeUp Sacramento, a powerful analytics platform to better understand your market, competitors, and customers.
Eligible businesses can apply for:
- Up to $5,000 in grant funding through the Micro-Capital Program to invest in equipment, new services, or business operations.
- Up to $2,500 in City fee credits to help offset costs like permits, licensing, and inspections.
This isn’t just advice; it’s hands-on support and resources to help your business move forward with confidence.
