Business Funding in San Jose, CA

San Jose is the largest city in Silicon Valley and one of the most expensive places in the country to run a business. Cisco, Adobe, PayPal, eBay and Zoom are headquartered here, and thousands of chip, hardware and software companies sit in North San Jose's tech corridor and the Golden Triangle near the airport. Their payrolls set the cost of everything else: rent, wages, housing, and what customers expect to pay. The city's small businesses live alongside them. Downtown and the SoFA district have restaurants, bars and venues that fill up for Sharks games at SAP Center and events at the convention center. Japantown, Willow Glen and Santana Row have long-running shops and restaurants. Little Saigon along Story Road is one of the largest Vietnamese American business districts in the country, and East San Jose and Alum Rock are home to thousands of Latino-owned restaurants, markets, auto shops and contractors. Healthcare is the other big employer, with Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, Kaiser, Good Samaritan and Regional Medical Center. The businesses in between include electronics contractors and machine shops that build for tech companies, construction and remodeling firms, landscapers, janitorial and facilities companies, staffing firms, IT service providers, medical and dental practices, and restaurants of every kind. Cash flow here is squeezed from both sides. San Jose's minimum wage is higher than California's and rises every year, commercial rents are among the highest in the country, and many contractors and service firms wait 45 to 60 days for large corporate customers to pay.
