Many resources are available for small businesses in Washington, but it can be hard to know where to look. A new, comprehensive guide from the Washington State Department for Community, Trade and Economic Development (CTED) is an important tool for small businesses at all stages of development.

The CTED guide provides small business owners and entrepreneurs with instantly accessible information on important federal, state, and local agencies, business associations, economic development centers, government contracts, Innovation Partnership Zones, and more. It also provides tools and resources for developing a business plan and business structure.

In support of green practices, the guide will only be published electronically. Click here to access the CTED guide and other business resources.
