This is the ongoing work of the Department of Community and Economic Development's ("DCED") Small Business Team ("SBT") who engages partner agencies and peer government organizations to help current and prospective small business owners navigate the environment.

​​

• DCED and partners host the Cincinnati Entrepreneur Resource Network to assist in connecting businesses with resources.

• DCED also works with the Quality-of-Life division of the City of Cincinnati Law Department to provide more targeted assistance to prospective business owners and permitting requirements for certain types of businesses that may inadvertently not be aware of all City permitting requirements for specialized businesses.

• DCED has also conducted an RFP to select a vendor to conduct a Small Business Survey with the intent of identifying the gaps in provision of small business services within the region related to the needs of our small businesses.
