Just in time for Small Business Week, the City of Rancho Cordova launched two online programs to help entrepreneurs receive information about permits and get fee estimates with the goal to apply and receive some local permits and licenses — all in one day!

It’s all part of the City’s “Startup in a Day” pledge, making Rancho Cordova the first City in the Sacramento Region to participate in this nationwide initiative led by the White House and U.S. Small Business Administration.

OpenCounter strives to make complex projects, like starting a new business, easier to understand and navigate in Rancho Cordova. The tool helps a business determine if its preferred location is zoned appropriately, answers questions it may not have thought to ask, provides an estimate of fees, and generates an outline of the permits and

ZoningCheck gives businesses streamlined access to zoning regulations that can often seem complex. The system lets businesses quickly select a new business location by exploring sites in the approved zoning areas. Once businesses have picked a location, they can peruse resources including grant information, support organizations, and helpful checklists.

Visit SelectRanchoCordova.org and click on the Tools & Resources section for 24/7 access to OpenCounter and ZoningCheck.

“Small businesses are the engines of our local economy,” said Rancho Cordova Mayor David Sander. “Rancho Cordova is on the cutting edge of tools designed to give entrepreneurs and small business owners looking to invest in our community a clear roadmap of the process and a fast route to getting started and business success.”
