The Assembly has approved a package of bills designed to help New York s small businesses prosper by providing access to much-needed capital, helping businesses meet environmental regulations, and cutting through red tape.
Small businesses create eight out of every ten new jobs in New York.
That s why the Assembly Majority is committed to doing everything we can to keep these businesses growing and thriving in New York. In recent years, new and expanding small businesses have been the major engines of job growth. However, these businesses historically have had difficulties accessing capital. In addition to giving priority to small businesses, this bill would require that economic development agencies provide small businesses and entrepreneurs with the information and assistance they need to access every state economic development program. Small businesses don't always have the development resources that larger companies have.
