Services & Membership

Services

While we will continue to run our marketplace every month, we are also introducing various incubator programs and services to meet the needs of the businesses in the community. Currently, we are working to expand our business support program in such a way that it will provide more direct supportive services to businesses in the following key areas:

Education & Training

Community business education and training refer to programs, workshops, initiatives, and resources provided to individuals, businesses, entrepreneurs, and community members to enhance their knowledge, skills, and capabilities.

Obtaining Capital

Readiness to obtain capital refers to a business or individual's preparedness and suitability for acquiring funding or investment from external sources, such as banks, investors, or venture capitalists.

Business Planning

Business planning and strategy are essential components of organizational management aimed at guiding decision-making, resource allocation, and goal achievement within a company.

Vendor Opportunities

Vendor opportunities for small businesses refer to the chances and avenues available for small-scale enterprises to supply goods or services to larger organizations, government agencies, corporations, or other entities.

We are accomplishing this by offering a series of classes and workshops on various topics. We also offer 1-on-1 business coaching and mentoring to entrepreneurs in need of additional support. Based on a survey of the businesses we serve, we recognize the need to provide support in these areas.
