Statewide:
Foreign companies seeking to invest in
California
should start by using the
California Business Portal for legal procedures and guidelines, and
the
Tradeport.org trade assistance resource page to contact local
organizations that can assist them.
Investors can also contact
CALED (the California
Association for Local Economic Development), a statewide professional
economic development organization dedicated to advancing its business
members’ ability to achieve excellence in delivering economic development
services. Especially helpful is its page on Business Attraction
Resources. The California Chamber
of Commerce is also very useful.
