	The Department of Small Business Services (SBS) makes it easier for companies in New York City to form, do business, and grow by providing direct assistance to business owners, fostering neighborhood development in commercial districts, promoting financial and economic opportunity among minority- and women-owned businesses, providing services for New York City jobseekers, and linking employers with a skilled and qualified workforce. The City recognizes that the rules for establishing and operating a business can be complicated and hard to understand. Below you will find summaries, compiled by SBS, about services that SBS and other City agencies provide for businesses on matters such as licenses and permits, trash disposal, property maintenance, building construction and safety, and other issues.
