Small & Growing
Businesses
Small business is a vital force in New York's
economy. Employing more than half of New York's
private sector workforce and accounting for 99
percent of new business creation, small businesses
are critical to the state's ability to create
jobs and opportunities for its residents.
New York has taken aggressive steps to promote
small business growth. By cutting taxes, red tape
and workers' compensation costs and reducing the
cost of unemployment insurance and health care,
New York is helping small businesses become even
more competitive.
Empire State Development provides programs, services and incentives specifically
designed to help small business entrepreneurs
maximize their opportunities for success. These
include resources like www.nylovessmallbiz.com,
New York's one-stop-shop for small businesses
looking to start or expand in our State. This
comprehensive web site allows small businesses
to connect to all the various State government
resources available to assist their operations.
Visit the web site or call us at 1-800-STATE
NY to find out how we can help your enterprise
succeed.
