Justin Brannan, a candidate for New York City comptroller, has unveiled a five-pillar plan aimed at supporting small businesses affected by federal tariffs and economic challenges. Recognizing that small businesses are vital to the city’s workforce, Brannan emphasizes the importance of actionable city government support to help these enterprises thrive. His initiatives include expanding access to capital, reducing regulatory obstacles, and establishing a community-based business support system, aiming to provide the assistance needed for small businesses to survive and grow in challenging times.
In the face of uncertainty and the unpredictability of Trump's tariffs, our small businesses are again left feeling like they have to fend for themselves.
Brannan said he would work to expand access to capital, streamline city contracting, reduce regulatory burdens and red tape, provide tax relief for new small businesses.
Small businesses, which employ nearly half of New York City's workforce, are facing a level of uncertainty not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic.
The stakes are existential for immigrant-owned businesses, particularly in hard-hit areas like Chinatown.
