Los Angeles County’s Department of Economic Opportunity, in partnership with the California Office of the Small Business Advocate, launched a free program called the Los Angeles County Financial Clinic on Saturday, August 22, 2026. The initiative is designed to help entrepreneurs and small businesses across the county obtain capital, reduce debt, and build long‑term financial resilience.
The clinic will deliver technical assistance aimed at enabling participants to secure financing, lower their debt burdens, and improve overall financial stability. Services are offered at no charge and are targeted specifically at local entrepreneurs and small‑business owners seeking to strengthen their fiscal position.
This offering joins a series of technical assistance programs already provided by the Department of Economic Opportunity and the California Office of the Small Business Advocate. Those existing programs have historically supplied guidance, resources, and support to help small enterprises navigate economic challenges.
As the newest addition to that portfolio, the Los Angeles County Financial Clinic seeks to remove barriers that often prevent small businesses from accessing needed capital. By focusing on debt reduction and financial resilience, the clinic aims to reinforce the county’s broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.
County officials emphasized that the clinic reflects a continued commitment to fostering financial health among local enterprises. The program aligns with regional goals of promoting economic growth, stability, and sustainable development for businesses of all sizes.
Participants can expect the clinic’s technical assistance to cover topics such as financing options, debt management strategies, and long‑term planning for sustainable growth. By providing these resources at no cost, the county hopes to empower entrepreneurs to make informed financial decisions and contribute to a more robust small‑business environment in Los Angeles County.
