Rebuilding our Small Business Community
   

The Downtown Business Network was created immediately after 9/11 to help revitalize the small business community of Lower Manhattan.

DBN encourages downtown corporations, government agencies doing business downtown, as well as small businesses themselves, to utilize the services of our small businesses whenever possible. By keeping the flow of business “in the neighborhood,” everyone can play a vital role in regenerating the economic growth of Lower Manhattan. This means new revenue, new jobs, new leases, and new vitality to this part of the city.

In the few years since 9/11, small businesses have finally started to show signs of recovery. Thanks to support from the government and private sectors, this community is coming out of “survival” and into “growth” mode, ready to focus on the future again. The ripple effect will benefit the entirety of downtown. Any company that services small businesses — real estate, retail, banking — should be benefiting in the short term.

We encourage all companies and government agencies to refer to our ever-expanding directory of downtown’s small businesses when choosing a new supplier or professional consultancy. Feel free to call upon any of the top caliber companies in this registry.

Supporting small business supports everyone. We look forward to working together to support the rebuilding of Lower Manhattan.
