BusinessSource Centers

BusinessSource logo
In light of Mayor Garcetti’s Safer at Home Order, EWDD’s BusinessSource, WorkSource and YouthSource Centers are providing resources remotely, via phone, email and social media. EWDD is postponing all major events, including training events and workshops, until the COVID-19 health crisis subsides.

The Los Angeles BusinessSource Centers provide startup ventures and current small business owners various cost effective tools to make their business a success. Through these tools, small businesses can grow and remain competitive within the City of Los Angeles. Most services are provided at NO COST to LA business owners and resident entrepreneurs.
