Ninety eight percent of businesses are small businesses.
The Division of Small Business was created in July 2017 to be a champion for small business owners, committed to helping small businesses start and grow in Delaware.
You may have heard the name of new Division around over the past year but been unsure of the answers to a few key questions:
- Where is the state tourism office located?
- What does this new Division mean to me?
To answer the first question, the great work of the Delaware Tourism Office continues as it has since 2008 just now under the umbrella of DSB.
It’s a perfect fit as many of those 98 percent of Delaware businesses considered “small” are the backbone of the state’s $3.3 billion tourism industry, whether it’s a seaside hotel in Sussex County, a family restaurant in Kent County or a craft brewery in New Castle County.
The short answer to the second question is… a lot.
In addition to working with the tourism office, you may be able to receive valuable assistance from the Division’s Small Business team, which is here to help you take your business ideas to the next level.
Each of the Division’s regional business resource managers is assigned to a specific part of the state, serving as a single point of contact for all the small businesses in that area.
