Growing Your Business
Growing a business can be a lot like starting a new one all over again although you might be more likely to focus on the following activities:
- New Construction/Remodeling - Many tenant improvements require permits. Review the Development Services Department process. Businesses with 12 or fewer employees are eligible to participate in the Storefront Improvement Program.
- New Employer Responsibilities - If you are new to hiring employees, check with the State of California’s Economic Development Department and the Internal Revenue Service for information about employer taxes.
- Secure Additional Financing - Check our list of Business Start-up Resources for additional sources of financial assistance.
