EWDD’s BusinessSource, WorkSource and YouthSource Centers continue to operate, with some centers offering limited, scheduled in-person appointments. Please contact your local center before visiting to allow staff time to prepare and maintain social distancing according to public safety guidelines. However, all major events, including job fairs and workshops, are postponed until the COVID-19 health crisis subsides.

Now it is more important than ever to follow safety standards, stay informed on updated policy changes and regulations protecting the health and well-being of both workers and customers. Download the City of Los Angeles' Policy Guide for LA Small Businesses for more information.

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.

The BusinessSource Centers also provide free assistance for the City of Los Angeles Sidewalk and Park Vendor Permit Program. Bilingual advisors are available to help complete the required documentation to secure the City of LA, State of California and County of Los Angeles Permits.

Most services are provided at NO COST to LA business owners and resident entrepreneurs.
