Small Business Funding

Owner Lina Mills speaks with customers outside of Creative Ideas Catering in San Francisco on Tuesday, June 11, 2024. The governor’s new proposed budget would cut more than half of the funding of California’s Small Business Technical Assistance Program, which benefits small businesses like Creative Ideas Catering.

She employed a dozen workers at Creative Ideas Catering and Creative Ideas Cafe but “had to send everybody home” during COVID lockdowns and the subsequent slowdown. She has since been able to rehire some — she is now back up to 10 workers and hopes to hire more. “I want to not just offer jobs to people who used to work for me — I’m trying to create more jobs.”

When Newsom presented his revised budget proposal in early May, the governor said “these are programs that I’ve long advanced, many of them. None of this is work you enjoy doing, but you have to do it. We have to balance the budget.”, the Encino Democrat who’s chair of that chamber’s budget committee, did not reply to questions about this specific program. The California Office of the Small Business Advocate, which administers it, said it had no comment.

Ernesto Delgado is among the entrepreneurs singing the praises of the state’s technical assistance program and other small business programs.
