WHAT IS OBC?
The O‘ahu Business Connector (OBC) connects small businesses and entrepreneurs to nonprofits, government partners, and support organizations to help them grow and create jobs.
The OBC is part of the City and County of Honolulu’s strategy to support small businesses and is managed by the Cityʻs Office of Economic Revitalization.
The heart of the program is its grassroots team of Resource Connectors who personally reach out to businesses and educate them about available resources. They’ve already helped more than 3,000 local businesses.
OBC offers events, seminars, and professional development to small businesses, and an online directory where businesses can find resources that meet their specific needs.
We Listen.We Connect. We Help.
