Entrepreneur Resources in Tulare County, CA
The benefits of starting a business in Tulare County include a low cost of doing business and a cost of living that is less than the U.S. average. For entrepreneurs, this offers an incredible advantage because home costs, for example, are less than half of what they typically cost in California. And we are only an hour from Bakersfield and Fresno - huge markets that can be served from Tulare County, but at a lower operating cost.
We can also move faster than other communities in California. Permits can be issued in as little as 90 days so it’s possible to turn an idea into a reality quickly.
Contact the Tulare County Economic Development Office for hands-on support for entrepreneurs. Our partners are also available to provide assistance.
Save time and money by connecting you with qualified employees. You can reduce recruiting and interviewing time, eliminating advertising costs, and may be reimbursed up to 50% of training costs based on hourly wage rates. There is no placement fee to you or the employee, and you may even receive tax benefits under the employee tax credits.
