Running a small business comes with plenty of challenges, but knowing where to find the right resources can make all the difference.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) recently published its 2026–2027 Small Business Resource Guide, packed with practical information to help entrepreneurs start, manage, and grow their businesses.

We’ve highlighted five valuable takeaways every local business owner should know:

📋 1. Build a Strong Business Plan
Understand your market, establish clear goals, and create a roadmap for long-term growth.

💰 2. Explore Funding Opportunities
Learn about SBA-backed loans, including the 7(a) loan program and microloans designed to support eligible small businesses.

🤝 3. Take Advantage of Free Business Counseling
Organizations like SCORE and Small Business Development Centers offer professional guidance, mentoring, and educational resources at no cost.

🏛️ 4. Consider Government Contracting
Discover how small businesses can compete for federal contracts and explore programs that help eligible companies access new opportunities.

📊 5. Strengthen Your Marketing Strategy
Learn how to identify your ideal customers, stand out from competitors, and build a strategy that supports sustainable growth.

The best part? Many of these resources are available completely FREE.

At the Hackensack Regional Chamber of Commerce, we believe that helping local businesses access valuable information and build meaningful connections makes our entire business community stronger.

Your business can only grow so far without investing in the people behind it.

Employee development is about more than teaching someone how to perform today’s responsibilities. It’s about helping your team build the skills, confidence, and experience they will need for tomorrow.

A thoughtful development plan can connect an employee’s professional goals with the needs of the business through mentorship, continuing education, cross-training, hands-on projects, coaching, and new responsibilities. Just as importantly, development shouldn’t be limited to an annual performance review. Regular conversations give employees and managers an opportunity to track progress, address challenges, and adjust goals as roles and business priorities change.

For small businesses especially, professional development doesn’t always require a large training budget. Some of the most valuable opportunities can already exist within your organization.

Swipe through for 5 practical ways to build stronger employee development opportunities within your business.

At the Hackensack Regional Chamber of Commerce, we’re committed to connecting our local business community with ideas, resources, and relationships that support long-term growth.
