EMPOWERING SMALL BUSINESSES: THE BACKBONE OF OUR COMMUNITIES

Around the 71st Banner

The legislative session is in full swing and with that, bills are being introduced by legislators each week. One of my recent bills up for consideration is AB 306. This bill would give small businesses better resources for the funding they may need to thrive in today’s economy.

What Is AB 306 and What Does It do?

AB 306: One-Stop Capital Shop to Support Small Business

This bill improves small businesses’ access to state funding opportunities by requiring the Office
of the Small Business Advocate (SBA) to launch a “one-stop capital shop” online platform that will list all state small business funding opportunities. This will provide small businesses a centralized and easily navigable hub from which to apply for state grants and access capital.

Our country has always thrived on the passion of entrepreneurs. These small businesses and the owners who built them deserve our support and every resource to help them succeed. AB 306 offers them a path for success!
