THE FIRST STEP IN GROWING YOUR BUSINESS

Business Concierge is a complimentary service provided by the Town’s Economic Development, Planning, Building and Engineering Divisions. The Danville Business Concierge provides one-on-one consultation with new and existing businesses.

PLANNING YOUR BUSINESS

Our knowledgeable staff provides assistance to businesses early in the planning process to minimize up front expenditures. The Business Concierge’s goal is to make opening a business in Danville a pleasant experience by developing a simple roadmap for business owners.

BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS

Concierge staff identify requirements specific to the unique needs of each business. The roadmap developed for businesses will identify applicable codes to the specific type of improvement being made and only require information on plans that pertain to the scope of work. You will also be provided with insight on how to meet the requirements of other regulatory agencies such as the County Health Department, Fire District, Sanitary District, and others.

MARKETING, RETAIL INCENTIVES AND MORE

The Business Concierge Service is not only a clearinghouse for guiding your way through the permitting process at the Town. Our resourceful staff will steer you towards Town-supported programs that promote business vitality. Such programs include personalized listings on the Town’s business web site, ShopDanvilleFirst.com, retail marketing grants, cooperative advertising opportunities, retail façade improvement assistance, business workshops and other opportunities.

Doing Business in Danville

Welcome, and thank you for choosing to do business in a community that has been identified by CNN-Money.com as a Top "100 Best Places to Live and Launch."

The Town is committed to helping insure that your business is well positioned for success and that its operations fit within the existing fabric of the business community.

	Where do you plan to operate your business? The Town’s Zoning Ordinance helps insure that businesses are located in appropriate and compatible districts. Please be sure to verify that your business is permitted in the desired location. If the business will be operating within a residential area, you may need a Home Occupancy Permit. Please contact our Planning Staff at (925) 314-3310 or Planning@danville.ca.gov for more information.
	Making improvements to your business space? Will it involve just paint or something that might be more involved (changes to the lighting, plumbing or wall systems)? These more significant changes would require a Building Permit to insure consistency with current Building and Fire Code requirements. Please contact our Building Services Staff at (925) 314-3300 or Building@danville.ca.gov for more information.
	Planning to display a sign? The Town’s adopted Sign Ordinance (Section 32-98) helps to assure attractive and architecturally compatible signage within Danville’s commercial areas. If your business is located within a shopping center, please be aware that there may also be other parameters that apply. Be sure to check with your property management company. Please contact our Planning Services staff at (925) 314-3310 or Planning@danville.ca.gov for more information or to discuss the applicable Town’s Sign Ordinance requirements and (if applicable) specifications for a shopping center’s Signage Program.
	Don’t Forget the Business License An active Business License is required for any business that operates in Danville. The funds from this fee help provide a wide range of business promotion activities. A business that operates out of a residence will also need a Home Occupancy Permit. You can now renew your Business License annually online! For more information, please contact our Finance staff at (925) 314-3326.
