Starting a business shouldn't be this hard
SparkLocal removes the barriers between wanting to start a business and actually doing it. We give you the tools, research, and local resources to turn your idea into reality.
The Problem We're Solving
of Americans dream of starting their own business
actually take the leap and start one
It's not a motivation problem. It's an overwhelm problem.
People get stuck asking: What business should I start? Will this idea actually work? How do I validate it? Where do I find funding? How do I write a business plan? What do I do first?
SparkLocal answers these questions. We guide you from “I have an idea” to “Here's exactly how to launch it.”
