STARTUP BUSINESS ADVISING

Graduates of our Start Simple Business Course qualify for ongoing one-on-one counseling with one of our Business Advisors. Your Business Advisor will help you validate a customer-driven business model, get your new business launched, and build a business foundation ready to maximize profits and generate wealth for you and your community. To get started, sign up for the Start Simple Course.

Resiliency BUSINESS ADVISING

If you are already in business, sign up for a Resiliency Assessment to explore strategies that will help you weather COVID-19 and emerge stronger and ready for whatever comes next, including how to access emergency loans and grants to make it happen. When you are ready to take your business to the next level, we’ll help you transition to your local Small Business Development Center.

READY TO HIRE ADVISING

If you're considering bringing on new workers to help your business grow, watch our Ready to Hire Primers. They will give you a quick overview of the rules and regulations for hiring employees, treating them well (wage and hours), and keeping them safe (workplace safety and workers’ compensation).

If you still have questions or need help getting ready to hire, sign up for a free consultation with your local CIE business advisor.
