NYC Business Solutions - Queens Center

NYC Business Solutions Centers

For the last four years, Next Street has operated the NYC Business Solutions, Lower Manhattan Center, a brick-and-mortar facility, which is funded by the NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS). Each Center works with entrepreneurs and small business owners at various stages of company development, from newly launched to established businesses. In January 2016, we added a second Center in Queens to our portfolio. Through the Centers, Next Street offers an array of business planning, financial, workforce training, recruitment, M/WBE certification, and other services to NYC entrepreneurs and small businesses. Each year the Centers see an average of 3,200 businesses providing them with over 4,500 services. Under Next Street's leadership, we have facilitated 840 loans for businesses, helping them access 382 approvals at over $26 million in financing through our lending partners, and helped more than 1,000 businesses source over 3,000 employees, dramatically impacting job growth in their communities. The Centers have also helped over 100 minority and woman-owned businesses apply for M/WBE Certification with the City of New York.

The NYC Business Solutions team is an extension of our Client Solutions unit and plays a pivotal role in helping to establish our presence and influence in New York City’s Small Business ecosystem. Whether working with small businesses and non-profits or large institutions and government and economic development organizations, we deliver solutions to clients that advance organizations’ strategy, growth, capacity, and impact. As part of our team, you will work closely with our Firm’s leadership, general delivery, and Corporate teams to ensure that the services delivered by the Center have a lasting impact and establish a long term relationship with our Firm.
