Business Resource Guide

Interested in relocating or establishing a business on Lark Street? 

Our Business Resource Guide has valuable information on the BID, including our programs and events.

Additionally, the Lark Street BID has begun an Ambassador Program for individuals that are starting or relocating a business to Lark Street. The Ambassador Program matches the business that is new to Lark Street to one of our more established business owners to help them navigate City channels and become familiar with our neighborhood. If you are interested in participating in the Ambassador Program, as either a new business or as one of the established- mentor businesses, please contact Mary Spinelli, Executive Director at 434.3861 ext. 3.

Also be sure to check out The City of Albany business resource guide.  This guide provides information on registering a business, permits and regulations, financing, and assistance programs.

New York State has developed an interactive guide to assist small businesses in finding programs and resources that are available to them. Click here to access the guide. Additional assistance for small businesses can be found at the Empire State Development’s Division for Small Business website.
