City Of Hollywood
Oct 1, 2025
Since Launching In The Summer Of 2024, The City Of Hollywood’s Small Business Assistance Center (SBAC) Has Quickly Become A Trusted Hub For Entrepreneurs And Business Owners Looking For Practical, Personalized Guidance. To Date, More Than 120 Businesses Are Benefiting From The Center’s Support Through A Mix Of Monthly Office Hours, Expert Advice And Direct Connections To City Services.
The SBAC is hosted by the City’s Economic Development team with support from Planning, Building, Code Compliance and Financial Services. Together, these departments provide hands-on assistance with common business needs such as licensing, permitting, local business taxes and funding opportunities. Beyond one-on-one guidance, recent sessions highlight valuable City programs including the Commercial Property Improvement Program, Resident Rewards Wednesdays and the Legacy Business Recognition Program.
The Center’s impact is already visible: new businesses have been able to open their doors more smoothly, while existing businesses are tapping into City programs to expand, renovate or reach new customers. The goal is not only to answer questions but also to create a clearer path for growth and long-term success.
Monthly office hours take place on the second Thursday of each month from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on the second-floor lobby of City Hall. No appointment is needed, and both startups and long-established businesses are encouraged to stop by.
Whether you are developing an idea, scaling your operations or simply seeking clarity on City processes, the SBAC is here to help you every step of the way.
