Bill > SB705

This bill expresses the California Legislature's intent to create a new certification process designed to simplify the process of starting and operating a small business in the state. The proposed legislation aims to develop a streamlined approach that would reduce the administrative barriers entrepreneurs currently face when establishing a new business. Specifically, the bill proposes to implement a certification program that would include training and educational components to provide business owners with essential skills and knowledge needed to successfully manage their enterprises. While the bill does not yet provide specific details about the certification process, it builds upon the existing work of the Office of Small Business Advocate, which currently serves as the principal advocate for small businesses within the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development. The overall goal is to make it easier and more supportive for entrepreneurs to launch and sustain small businesses in California by offering a more comprehensive and accessible pathway to business ownership.
