Resources

SSWBA is committed to helping our member businesses and those in the South Street West community by providing information on starting up a business in Philadelphia and helping existing businesses to expand.

In addition to the information we provide and regularly update in this Small Business Resource Guide, representatives from City and nonprofit agencies regularly attend SSWBA meetings to present their programs and platforms to our members. 
 

The Guide is divided into two sections:
