The agenda for New York and New York City entrepreneurs

Small Business Majority has created a comprehensive state policy agenda to ensure entrepreneurship is at the center of a thriving and inclusive economy in New York. It’s critical that state lawmakers enact short- and long-term policies to support and empower entrepreneurs by guaranteeing their access to capital, an infrastructure that can support their ability to offer quality jobs, and their ability to compete on a level-playing field. To achieve these goals, policymakers should consider the policy proposals outlined in our New York state policy agenda.

To build on our statewide recommendations, we have also developed a New York City small business policy agenda that reflects the unique role the five boroughs play as America’s entrepreneurship hub. This city-focused agenda outlines targeted solutions to support the new Mamdani Administration, City Council and New York City officials in ensuring that New York City’s diverse small businesses have the resources and opportunities they need to drive innovation, create quality jobs and strengthen local communities.
