Fueling Success for New Jersey Businesses
Our Mission
The New Jersey Small Business Growth Council (NJSBGC) is committed to empowering local entrepreneurs by championing inclusivity, innovation, and economic growth. Our mission is rooted in fostering sustainable business success, creating job opportunities, and cultivating a thriving entrepreneurial small business community across New Jersey.
Our Values
Collaboratively as a coalition of organizations, we strive to go above and beyond for our state's small business owners, challenging barriers of access and growth. We aim to effectuate the best policies and advocacy that support economic advancement for all four regions (North, Central, South & Shores) across our state.
“New Jersey is home to over 950,000 small businesses that structurally drive the economic health of our state. The New Jersey Small Business Growth Council (formerly NJDBAC), creates a collective voice ensuring that our most underrepresented small and Main Street business owners may participate in the opportunity through fair practices of competition and access.”
