New Jersey State Business Resources

From the time of the Revolutionary and Civil wars to the modern economy, New Jersey has experienced considerable amount of economic growth. This was made possible by the construction of public railroads and canals. It was in 1992 when a concrete infrastructure growth plan was put in place that helped to support development in the urban and suburban areas of New Jersey. Upon the fourth century after it was officially named a state, New Jersey realized its full potential.

Today, New Jersey is referred to as a sleeping giant when it comes to economic progress and opportunities. It is partly because it is often compared to other more highly developed economies in the Eastern Seaboard, particularly New York.

As of today, there are over 850,000 small businesses in New Jersey and they employ more than 1.8 million people. These are mostly belonging to the private sector. It shows the level of impact that the business landscape has in the Garden State's economy.

This is why it is a favorable choice for those planning to start a new business. Its close proximity to New York City is what attracts small business owners. It is also highly dense in population so there is an expansive market to target. In addition, the supportive local communities provide business owners access to resources and funding to help build or expand a business venture.
