The New Jersey Business Action Center (NJBAC) announced the availability of the New Jersey Small Business Manual, a publication that provides information and guidance on starting, maintaining, and growing a small business. NJBAC, a division of the Department of State, has worked with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA), the Office of Innovation, and other community-based partners to create resources to help small businesses grow and thrive in New Jersey.
This manual includes information on state and local permits and inspections, financial assistance programs, lease agreements, commercial real estate transactions, and a variety of other topics related to owning and operating a small business. It can be downloaded online at www.nj.gov/state/bac/small-business-manual/.
“The small business sector is critical to our state's economy,” said Lt. Gov. Tahesha Way. “Hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans contribute to the prosperity of our entire state every day. We believe that investing in tools and resources like the New Jersey Small Business Manual is valuable for business owners and entrepreneurs, as it provides high returns. When our small business community thrives, we all thrive.”
“The contents of the New Jersey Small Business Manual represent the most common questions and requests for assistance we receive from the small business community,” said NJBAC Executive Director Melanie Willoughby. “By compiling information into an easy-to-read and easy-to-use publication, we ensure that important information is accessible to make the lives of entrepreneurs and business owners easier. This manual is a collaborative effort between multiple state agencies. It was created by doing so.”
