Thinking about opening a new business in Downtown Trenton? The Downtown Trenton DBIA is a great place to start!

Starting a business can come with a lot of questions, and you may not always know where to begin or who to contact. The DBIA can help point you in the right direction and connect you with the community organizations, municipal departments, programs, and resources that may be available to you.

We can help connect you with information and resources related to:

• Business planning and start-up support
• Available grants, funding programs, and incentives
• Community and economic development resources
• Municipal permits, licences, and applicable by-laws
• Renovation and property improvement requirements
• Community Improvement Plan (CIP) programs
• Local organizations and services that can support your business
• Information about becoming part of the Downtown Trenton business community

Planning renovations? Talk to us before you get started.

Depending on the type of work you are considering, there may be permits, approvals, by-laws, or other requirements you need to know about before renovations begin. We can help direct you to the appropriate City department or community resource so you can get the information you need.

You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. While the DBIA does not issue permits, approve grants, or provide legal or professional business advice, we can help you find the right people and resources to get started.

Whether you already have a business idea, are considering a downtown location, or simply want to learn more about what is involved, we would be happy to hear from you.

Start with the Downtown Trenton DBIA — and let us help connect you with the resources you need to take your next step.
