Philadelphia, PA
In 2022, our team published Barriers to Business, a report analyzing the small business regulatory environment in 20 cities across the US, including Philadelphia. Catalyzed by conversations with the Philadelphia Department of Commerce and Pew Charitable Trusts, we conducted additional research to identify the regulatory questions entrepreneurs must ask themselves when starting a restaurant in Philadelphia. We are excited to release this research as a flow chart visual, in coordination with the launch of our official partnership with Philadelphia’s Department of Commerce and the Mayor’s Office of Policy Planning and Delivery. As a team, we are working to streamline the small business regulatory process and make it cheaper, faster, and simpler to start a business.
