Starting a Business in Pennsylvania

Each year, thousands of Pennsylvanians begin the journey toward entrepreneurship. Some travel light, with nothing more than a good idea for a business and money they’ve saved from their own paychecks. Others must develop a detailed plan, secure financing, and investigate industry, state and federal regulations before they can begin.

Whether your journey from concept to opening day is months or years, you’ll have lots of questions along the way. You’ll also find that the need for updated information continues throughout the lifetime of your company. We’re here to help at every turn. Check out our funding and program finder, or download a copy of our Business Assistance Programs brochure.
