Building an Inclusive Small
Business Support Network
Small business success starts with support that’s accessible, flexible, and easy to navigate.
Small businesses serving Philadelphia’s low-income neighborhoods face barriers to stability and growth. These businesses -- vital economic anchors in their communities -- face significant hurdles when accessing traditional business assistance, due to inflexible or inconvenient service delivery, difficult-to-navigate eligibility requirements, language and cultural barriers, and scheduling constraints that often force sole proprietors to close their shops in order to receive help.
When support systems expect businesses to come to them, those who need help most are left behind.
We reimagine small business support by bringing comprehensive services and a wide network of vetted partners directly to entrepreneurs in their neighborhoods, through trusted community-based partners, in their preferred languages.
We employ a structured, evidence-based approach to small business support, ensuring consistent delivery of services while allowing for individualized assistance based on each busienss’s unique needs.
