Fairfax CORE: A Central Hub for Local Entrepreneurs

Navigating the transition from a business idea to a sustainable operation requires the right connections. Fairfax CORE (Connecting Opportunities and Resources for Entrepreneurs) serves as the primary digital directory for small business owners across Fairfax County, including the towns of Clifton, Herndon, and Vienna, and the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church.

The platform is designed to streamline the search for support by offering:

  • A Searchable Resource Navigator: Connect with over 120 entrepreneur support organizations in and around the county. You can filter results by industry, business stage, or the specific type of assistance needed to find the right experts for your current challenges.
  • Comprehensive Business Guides: Access practical information on foundational topics, from licensing and permits to financial modeling and retail leasing strategies.
  • A Regional Events Calendar: A centralized list of low- and no-cost educational workshops and networking opportunities hosted throughout the county.
  • Multilingual Access: To support our diverse business community, the website is translatable into 58 languages, with many resource partners specifically focused on supporting underrepresented founders.

Whether you are establishing a new storefront or evolving an existing brand, Fairfax CORE provides the infrastructure to help you move forward.
