Our business mentoring and advising services are ready and waiting for you. BDCC works closely with several Business Assistance Partners at the local, state, and federal levels, to help you with business plan development, risk assessment, financial projections, funding resources, marketing strategy, and market analysis, just to name some of the topics we cover.
We also can offer you guidance and a sort of road map to available Financing and Incentiveresources that could work for you, such as revolving loan funds, state development banking, and tax incentive programs.
Additional areas of expertise where we can offer you assistance include:
- Relationship building to help launch your new business on the right path by connecting you with the right people
- Manufacturing assistance to help your new company achieve lower costs and higher productivity.
- Entrepreneurial support, including our annual Business Plan Competition and education and training opportunities.
Will you be needing to rent commercial space, when you start up your new business? BDCC owns and manages an Act 250-approved industrial park and two business parks/incubators in Brattleboro, offering low-cost viable rental space. We would be happy to talk with you to see if any of our space fits your company’s needs.
For other commercial space in Vermont that might be available for rent or purchase, the Vermont Department of Economic Development has a great tool online called the Vermont Commercial/Industrial Site Locator.
