May is National Small Business Month, a time where the city promotes the diverse small businesses across the five boroughs.

The NYC Small Business Resource Network is a joint effort between the chamber of commerce in each borough of the city. The network launched in 2021 to work with small business owners, and it helps businesses gain access to a range of programs and services.

Anchors Rocco Vertuccio and Shannan Ferry spoke with Randy Peers, the CEO and president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, Saturday morning on NY1 about the importance of these programs.
