Our goal is to provide a place where business owners find useful links to help keep the wheels of business turning. In this section, we provide a myriad of resources from starting a business to hiring employees and beyond…

Local, State, and Federal Resources

Local

San Francisco wants your business. And the City offers unique opportunities, credits and incentives to attract your business. Below are links to help you learn about “only-in- San Francisco” opportunities for business and how to take advantage of the City’s unique offerings.

State

Welcome to California. Business leaders in the Golden State need to have a voice, and a roadmap to the issues that affect them – important matters such as health care, workers’ compensation and business taxes. They need to know what and how policies and legislation affect businesses large and small, what products and services are available, all applicable labor laws and much more. Below is a list of helpful links to encourage business in California.

Federal

The United States operates some of the world’s largest and most comprehensive websites. Despite this fact, most are relatively easy to navigate. These federal links offer information on almost every aspect of business and are geared toward big business leaders and small business owners alike. Learn about energy issues, agricultural, environmental, defense, science and technology, international trade, taxes, economic and demographic data, financial assistance, business plans, selling to the government and much, much more.

Everything you need on the business continuum – how to start a business, how to grow a business and how to close a business. Information, regulations, and guidelines – it’s all here. The official business link to the US Government Business includes:
