Javid Javdani Calls for Increased Support for Small Business Owners in California

San Diego Entrepreneur Highlights the Role of International Food Markets in Cultural Exchange and Community Building

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2024 / Javid Javdani, owner of Balboa Market in San Diego, is raising awareness about the importance of supporting small businesses, particularly international food markets, as essential cultural and community resources. His business, Balboa Market, has become a gathering space where food fosters connection and cultural exchange. Javdani’s unique perspective as an immigrant and entrepreneur has underscored the critical need for small business support, especially as they strive to serve diverse populations and maintain cultural traditions.

“Small businesses are not just about commerce,” says Javdani. “They are about building community, bridging cultures, and preserving heritage.” Small businesses make up nearly 99.8% of all businesses in California, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA), and they employ almost half of the state’s workforce, underscoring their economic and social significance.

However, small businesses often face obstacles, particularly in securing funding and navigating complex regulations. “The biggest challenge I’ve encountered as a small business owner is accessing capital to sustain and expand our services,” Javdani explains. A recent report by the SBA reveals that 42% of small businesses in California struggle to secure sufficient funding-a statistic Javdani finds troubling. “With more financial support and resources, these businesses could achieve so much more for the communities they serve,” he adds.

Javdani believes that international food markets, like Balboa Market, serve as more than just places to shop. “Food has a way of connecting people-whether it’s giving immigrants a taste of home or introducing someone to new flavors and traditions,” he says. His market hosts events, cooking classes, and tastings that allow customers to experience the diversity of world cultures right in their neighborhood.

Javdani calls on state policymakers, financial institutions, and community leaders to consider increased funding opportunities, mentorship programs, and regulatory support for small business owners. By implementing targeted support, he believes California can enable small businesses to reach their full potential and serve as thriving cultural hubs.

“As we support small businesses, we’re investing in our communities and fostering environments that celebrate diversity,” says Javdani.
