NYC Business Solutions is a suite of services funded by the Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (“WIOA”). The Centers help entrepreneurs and small businesses to start, operate and grow in New York City. Services are offered at no cost and can help businesses of any size and at any stage. Each year, the Centers provide free services to thousands of New York City businesses. The Centers have a strong focus towards achieving outcomes for businesses and entrepreneurs served. 

The negotiated acquisition extension will allow the agency adequate time to release a new solicitation for this program and enable the current Business Solutions Center (BSC) provider to continue to deliver a suite of business services in Brooklyn that include but are not limited to financing awards, recruitment, training, business education, Minority/Women Business Enterprise certification assistance, other business service referrals including governmental resources and delivering customer service in the multiple languages to serve the diverse populations in the City.  In addition to increasing businesses and entrepreneurs knowledge and awareness of other available City programs, the Centers reinforce the City’s economic development efforts to support small businesses and entrepreneurs to expand, maintain and grow in the city while employing a diverse workforce.
