The Philadelphia Development Partnership is the region's largest provider of microenterprise development services. With offices in Philadelphia and Chester, PDP works with more than 400 entrepreneurs each year, the majority of whom are in the business start-up phase. Assistance is provided through a varied and customized array of loan products and business development services, including one-on-one technical assistance, business training and networking opportunities.

Our guiding principal is that anyone can build their own business—provided they possess the right blend of determination, skill, resources and opportunity. As a private nonprofit organization, PDP's goal is to reach entrepreneurs in our community and to help them realize their dream of starting or growing a successful business. PDP understands that, as an entrepreneur, your priorities are to increase your income and improve your family's quality of life. By helping you reach these goals, you are, in turn, helping PDP carry out its mission of promoting economic development in neighborhoods throughout the Greater
Philadelphia region.

PDP is an affiliated corporation of the Greater Philadelphia Urban Affairs Coalition.
