Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce shares the newly released New Jersey Small Business Manual, a comprehensive guide developed by the New Jersey Business Action Center (NJBAC). More than just a handbook, this free publication serves as a lifeline for small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs navigating the complexities of launching and growing a business in the Garden State.

The manual was set in motion by legislation and shaped through a dynamic partnership between state departments and business community stakeholders. Its mission is clear: to empower New Jersey’s small business with practical tools, expert guidance, and accessible information. Our regional chamber is a long-standing advocate for economic development, amplifying this resource to members and beyond.

Inside the manual, readers will find a user-friendly and inclusive guide that covers essential topics such as writing a business plan, registering a business, understanding licensing and compliance requirements, scaling operations, and exploring export opportunities. It’s a one-stop shop for understanding the obligations, options, and opportunities that come with small business ownership in New Jersey. By equipping our community with the right resources, it is not only supporting individual success—but investing in the future prosperity of Southern Ocean County.
