Much like Times Square attracts tourists and locals alike, Small Business Square attracts both established and budding businesses seeking inspiration and interconnectivity.

From florists to bakeries to thrift stores – small businesses are everywhere in New York City. The problem is that these businesses are scattered between boroughs and busy schedules.

No matter how established a business may be, there is always more to learn: the most effective way to use Instagram, a great business course to take, or even tips on store layout.

It is important to view other small business owners as partners rather than competition, and to foster a community through open conversation and shared experiences.

Small Business Square is here to serve as a place for all types of small business owners to meet, learn and grow with one another. From successes to failures, business owners will be able to exchange tips, learn about other businesses, and engage in each other’s stories.
