Starting a business shouldn't be confusing and overwhelming

For many entrepreneurs, especially first-time or underrepresented business owners, navigating local government resources is a major challenge. Information is scattered, language access is limited, and support can be hard to find.

Without clear guidance, many never get started or give up before reaching their goals.
