Led by two female business owners (Erica + Maria ) with extensive backgrounds in small business ownership and government affairs, we know how to navigate the complexities of both the business and public sectors to achieve results.
funding
California is home to 4.1 million small businesses, representing 99.8 percent of all businesses in the state. Small businesses employ 7.2 million workers in California, or 48.5 percent of the state’s total workforce. Since 2020, the CASFFA has focused on ensuring that entrepreneurs in the health and wellness sector have access to public and private funding to support and expand their small businesses. We continue to collaborate with state and local governments and healthcare providers to create sponsor grants for small businesses statewide.
