Madeleine Ildefonso, manager of the city's public library system, said several hundred vendors have already used the website and its services.

“We worked directly with street vendors to develop this program. It includes recorded presentations on how to get all the permits, California health certificates, California sellers permits, City of Los Angeles business tax permits,” she explained.

In addition to managing your business, the website also provides guidance on how to defuse tense situations. More and more street vendors are becoming victims of crime, including violent attacks and robberies.

“It's really more about what the trends are for staying on the street using the principles of bystander intervention. You will understand your situation very well,” Ildefonso said. “You will know when to say something or when to take a step back.”

There are about 50 microbusinesses, or street vendors, in Los Angeles, according to the Economic Roundtable.

The beauty of the website, Ildefonso said, is that anyone in Southern California can access and use the information. She said her website has also been approached by sellers from all over the country.
