Start or Grow Your Business at Our New One Stop Shop

A strong local economy creates jobs, attracts investment, and helps support the services our community relies on. That's why we’re excited to launch the new One Stop Shop, featuring a new website and an in-person assistance center at City Hall. Designed to make doing business easier, the One Stop Shop gives entrepreneurs, business owners, developers, and investors a single place to find permits, licensing information, business resources, and direct support from City staff. The launch also includes a new video featuring local businesses and the success stories that help strengthen Santa Rosa's growing economy.

The One Stop Shop is the latest example of our commitment to helping businesses succeed. That commitment was recently recognized when Santa Rosa was named the North Bay's Best Business Friendly City in the 2026 Best of the North Bay awards – for the second year in a row.

Whether you're starting a business, expanding an existing one, or exploring development opportunities, the One Stop Shop connects you with the information, resources, and support you need to succeed.
