Javid Javdani [https://infinitesights.com/javid-javdani/], a successful entrepreneur and owner of Balboa Market in San Diego, is advocating for more opportunities, funding, and support for small business owners across California. As a former pharmacist turned business owner, Javdani understands the challenges that small business owners face and is calling on policymakers and financial institutions to take concrete steps to help these vital contributors to the state's economy thrive.

"Small businesses are the backbone of our communities," Javdani stated. "They create jobs, drive innovation, and contribute to the unique character of our neighborhoods. However, many small business owners struggle to access the funding and resources they need to grow and succeed, especially in today's economic climate."

According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses account for 99.8% of all businesses in California, employing nearly half (48.5%) of the state's workforce. Despite this, many face significant obstacles, with 42% reporting difficulties accessing capital and funding. Javdani believes that increasing access to financial support and mentorship programs can play a critical role in helping these businesses overcome challenges and achieve long-term success.

Javdani, who successfully transitioned from a 20-year career in pharmacy to establishing his thriving international food market, knows firsthand the importance of having access to funding and guidance. "When I started Balboa Market, there were moments when I felt overwhelmed by the financial and operational hurdles. Fortunately, I had a support system, but many entrepreneurs aren't as fortunate. We need to create a more inclusive environment where aspiring business owners can access the resources they need to succeed."

Javdani is calling for increased public and private funding initiatives, more accessible loan programs, and expanded mentorship opportunities. "California is home to so many talented, hardworking individuals who just need a chance," he added. "By providing financial support, training, and mentorship, we can help these entrepreneurs not only survive but thrive."

Recent data from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) reveals that over 60% of small business owners cite a lack of access to capital as a primary challenge. "We can't afford to ignore the contributions of small businesses to our state's economy," Javdani emphasized. "By investing in these enterprises, we're investing in the future of California's communities."
