Learn More About NYC Small Business Month
In May 2023, Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) announced the launch of “NYC Small Business Month” to promote New York City’s diverse small businesses throughout the month of May, expanding on “National Small Business Week” recognized each year.
“NYC Small Business Month” is a five-borough celebration of local businesses with resource fairs and events led by SBS, local Chambers of Commerce, and Business Improvement Districts citywide. The first-ever, city-run “NYC Small Business Month Expo” in May 2024 capped the month’s activities with hundreds of free services, programs from more than 40 city, state, and federal agencies, and other partner resources, all under one roof to support the city’s 183,000 local small businesses.
