Services for Small Businesses
Redesign knows that a vibrant business community contributes to a healthy, walkable Minneapolis by providing diverse goods and services, creating jobs, and investing in the built environment. We provide comprehensive services to sustain and grow local businesses in our service area.
We prioritize services for communities impacted by systemic barriers to business ownership. Redesign believes the local business community should be representative of our neighborhoods at large, and that supporting BIPOC, immigrant, and women-run businesses is essential to decreasing disparities and promoting wealth building in these communities.
