Small Business, Big Impact

"The Manhattan Borough President’s Office (MBPO) produced this report to help more small businesses thrive and grow, because small businesses have historically provided the majority of jobs for New Yorkers and a gateway to the middle class, especially for immigrants and ethnic communities." - Gale A. Brewer

Our mission at the Chamber is to enhance the business vibrancy of our catchment area by encouraging the opening new small businesses, while supporting the ongoing success of those established. This report thoroughly reviews how different agencies can become more efficient, how the city can become more efficient, and how small business are the fundamental backbone to Manhattans local economy.
