Back to School for Small Businesses: Marketing, Finance and Legal Tips and Tools for New and Established Small Business Owners
THE LEGAL PROGRAM
Law firms began providing small businesses in the Bronx with free legal services.
Our Story
In 2010, that "what if" idea became a reality. Start Small Think Big began to serve the Bronx, New York community. A network of legal experts started providing legal assistance to entrepreneurs and enabled small businesses to thrive.
Start Small
Start Small Think Big was conceived like so many small businesses—on a "what if" premise. Our founder, Jenny DaSilva, resonated with how challenging entrepreneurship could be for those who want to forge their own path. She explored how she could most effectively use her legal training to provide other innovators and risk-takers in her community with the resources and support they needed to create sustainable businesses.
LaShawnna Harris, a member of our small business network, dedicated her NYC-based business Creative Station to providing equity-centered innovation in education and sustained school improvement. We checked in with LaShawnna to learn more about Creative Station and the challenges she faces with equity and education.
One of the biggest challenges startups and new entrepreneurs face is staying on top of the game. When you don't have many (or any) employees, there is only so much you can do within one workday. Not only is this lack of fingers, eyes, and minds frustrating, but it can be highly detrimental for your business as well. Luckily, nowadays, there are an abundance of tools designed to help you stay sane while conquering the business world.
