Small Business Liaison: Supporting Local Business, One Conversation at a Time

The Carlsbad Village Association is proud to continue its partnership with the City of Carlsbad’s Small Business Liaison by hosting monthly in-person office hours designed to support our local business community. Businesses interested must sign up for an appointment time. 

Following a successful initial session filled with strong participation and meaningful one-on-one conversations, this valuable program is back on Wednesday, April 1. Local business owners are invited to take advantage of this opportunity to connect directly with city resources and receive personalized guidance tailored to their needs.

Office hours will take place from 9:00AM to 11:00AM at the Carlsbad Village Association office, located at 2695 State Street. Each 30-minute appointment serves as a welcoming first point of contact for business-related questions and support.

During these sessions, businesses can receive assistance with navigating city processes, business license inquiries, permitting requirements, zoning clarification, determining appropriate business classifications and usage, guidance on home-based versus commercial operations, signage regulations, commercial code enforcement matters, and information about incentives, grants, and financial resources. The Small Business Liaison can also help connect business owners with relevant city departments or external organizations when needed.

We are grateful for the positive response to this initiative and look forward to continuing to provide meaningful, accessible support for our Village business community.
