Office of Small
Business

Small businesses across the Los Angeles County were hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic, entertainment strikes, January 2025 wildfires, and other unanticipated economic disruptions. Many continue to struggle and depend on community support to thrive now more than ever!

In addition to raising awareness and incentivizing local business support, the Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) is committed to helping business owners and entrepreneurs succeed. Connect with DEO’s Office of Small Business for a 1:1 concierge consultation, certification and contracting support, and referrals to capital and legal aid.
