States may elect to create an independent governance and administrative structure for the SHOP so long as the SHOP coordinates and shares relevant information with the marketplace operating in the same service area; and in some jurisdictions, the SHOP functions are being handled by separately organized navigator and/or assister programs that specialize in working with small businesses.
