Business Guides

Working to help your business succeed is our business. As you start up your business, the New Bedford Economic Development Council can assist you at every step including developing a business plan, financing, finding a location, taking advantage of incentives, moving through the permitting process, and employee training.

“Starting Your Business” is an on-line resource complied by the NBEDC to give small business owners and entrepreneurs a central resource of information for starting up a business in New Bedford.

Our thanks to our partners, the Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research, for source information obtained from “Navigating through Regulations and Licensing Requirements: A Guide for Entrepreneurs in New Bedford in Twenty One Occupations”.
