Small Business Support

How We can Help

Downtown Johnson City is committed to helping our local businesses grow and thrive. Thanks to a grant awarded to our Main Street Program, we’re excited to offer one year of free, online small business training and resources through a partnership with Retail Strategies.

Whether you're a property owner, business owner, or staff member, you’ll find valuable courses and tools to strengthen your business, including:

  • Property Owner Training (lease structures, creating successful tenants, and more)

  • Restaurant Training (HR essentials, marketing strategies, financial foundations)

  • Business Modernization (AI, POS systems, cybersecurity, theft mitigation, emerging trends)

  • Holiday Trends & Marketing (Canva crash course, graphic templates, seasonal strategies)

These resources are free but only available for one year — so be sure to explore and download any materials that can help you succeed.
