Kevin Kim Steps Down as NYC Small Business Services Commissioner

Kevin Kim, the commissioner of the New York City Department of Small Business Services, recently announced his departure after more than two years of service. His dedication to the job stems from his personal background, having grown up in a modest one-bedroom apartment in Sunnyside, Queens. Kim, the first Korean American commissioner in the city, has been instrumental in supporting over 200,000 small businesses in New York City.

Support for Small Businesses

During his tenure, Kim spearheaded the creation of the Small Business Opportunity Fund, a program with an $85 million budget aimed at assisting struggling small businesses, especially in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. His focus has been on helping underserved communities, including immigrant-owned businesses, which represent a significant portion of the city’s small business landscape.

Legacy and Departure

Despite his departure, Kim expressed gratitude for his team at the Department of Small Business Services and the opportunity to make a difference. As a parting gesture, the department will host the New York City Small Business Month Expo on May 29 to celebrate and support local entrepreneurs.
