Helping Small Businesses in Santa Fe Start, Grow and Thrive

Santa Fe Small Business Navigator Program

The Santa Fe Small Business Navigator is home to one of New Mexico’s most comprehensive networks of service resources for small business development. We are committed to lighting the path to success for Santa Fe local businesses. Our mission is to leverage the broader resources in our region to give small business owners, founders, and entrepreneurs access to confidential, no-cost services ranging from one-on-one advising, expert training, mentoring opportunities, and microgrant programs.

The Navigator welcomes small business owners, entrepreneurs, and founders at all stages – from inception to growth and expansion. Starting or owning a business can often be lonely and stressful especially when it is unclear where to go for help and resources. We recognize that struggle and want to help businesses find the right service at the right time. Our services cover the full range of what an entrepreneur might need in a business’ life-cycle including business planning, license and permit application assistance, and marketing strategy. Santa Fe-based small business owners can sign up to join the Navigator network to have immediate access to a one-on-one consultation about their business. 

The Santa Fe Small Business Navigator is funded by the City of Santa Fe Office of Economic Development in partnership with The Arrowhead Center at New Mexico State University. They are the hub of this program and work closely with our core partners who are the spokes – New Mexico Angels/UpSpring Associates, Santa Fe Business Incubator, SCORE Santa Fe & Northern New Mexico, WESST and the Regional Development Corporation. We welcome nonprofit, university or government organizations that provide direct services for entrepreneurs and small business growth to become a Navigator resource partner. We’d like your support in identifying other resources that should be part of the network by emailing us at info@santafebiznavigator.com. There is no cost to the participating organizations, entrepreneurs, or small business owners.

We at the Santa Fe Small Business Navigator are proud to empower small business owners to start and grow their business.
