Why Long Beach is LA County’s Most Business Friendly City

We’ve always considered Long Beach one the best places to do business and now it’s official. After being named the “Most Business-Friendly City in Los Angeles County” the secret is out. If you’re looking for kitchen space for rent in the greater Los Angeles area, here’s why Long Beach should be on your radar.  

Long Beach is Close to the Action

Long Beach’s location between Los Angeles and Orange County is a strategic advantage. With multiple major freeways running through the city, it couldn’t be easier to get here. That accessibility– coupled with the large international port and Southern California’s largest aquarium– has made Long Beach a destination for major events, conventions, and more. Plus, it certainly doesn’t hurt that the downtown area– home to our Partake Collective  Long Beach location– is near the water, walkable, and bustling with attractions.

Long Beach Makes It Easier to Start or Grow a Business

Long Beach isn’t just a nice place to go to work. It’s also an easy place to do business. That’s because the city has taken steps to reduce red tape and make entrepreneurship more accessible, such as:

• A BizCare Hotline that serves as a one-stop shop for business owners with questions about city programs or resources; and
• Business Navigators, which provides assistance with grants, loans, planning, marketing and more.

These innovations are part of what led the Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation to award Long Beach the distinction of “Most-Business Friendly City” at its annual Eddy Awards®.

Open Your Business Faster in Long Beach

We’d be remiss not to mention one of our favorite innovations of all, our program with the Long Beach Health Department, which has streamlined the health permit and inspection process for business owners renting a commercial kitchen at Partake. This exclusive service has helped businesses open up to 2 weeks sooner. Read more about it here.
