Welcome to Funtimes Exchange, where we take you beyond the surface to uncover the resources and opportunities that can transform your business journey. We're diving deep into Philadelphia's hidden treasure trove of business support programs that most entrepreneurs don't even know exist.
If you're a small business owner in Philly, or thinking about starting one, this episode could be a game-changer. We're unpacking Dr. Eric's eye-opening article "Making Philly Work for You: City Programs Every Small Business Should Know" from Funtimes Magazine, and this isn't your typical list of permits and paperwork.
We're talking about real, tangible support. Free expert help with your bookkeeping and marketing. Safety certification programs that come with actual cash grants. A single application that connects you to over 30 lenders. Local business managers in every council district whose job is literally to help you succeed.
And here's what makes this even more important, these programs are specifically designed to reach communities that have historically been left out of traditional business support systems. We're talking intentional outreach to Black, Brown, and immigrant entrepreneurs, with multilingual support and trusted community partnerships.
So whether you're struggling to get funding, drowning in city regulations, looking to buy your own commercial space, or just need someone to help you navigate the system, the next 30 minutes could save you thousands of dollars and months of frustration.
This is practical, actionable information that you can use immediately.
