Government Agency Partnerships

Government agencies nationwide are investing in small business support programs to strengthen local economies and create pathways to wealth for small business and cooperative owners. But delivering effective business assistance at scale requires specialized expertise in program design, culturally responsive outreach, and impact measurement.

We partner with government agencies to design and implement business assistance programs that reach businesses that need the most support, deliver services that drive real outcomes, and build lasting support infrastructure in your community.

Program Design and Implementation: We work with you to design business assistance programs from the ground up or enhance existing initiatives, developing program structures, eligibility criteria, service delivery models, outreach strategies, and evaluation frameworks that meet both regulatory needs and community impact goals.

Outreach and Enrollment: We develop and implement comprehensive outreach strategies combining grassroots engagement, partnership development, and digital marketing to reach businesses in underserved communities, managing the full enrollment process to match businesses with appropriate services.

Workshops and Group Learning: We design and deliver one-time and workshop series addressing financial management, business strategy, risk planning, capital readiness, and business retention, creating accessible spaces where business owners gain practical skills and build community.

One-on-One Business Consulting: We provide intensive, personalized support to help businesses develop strategies, strengthen operations, access capital, and implement growth or retention plans through hands-on consulting that includes financial analysis, business planning, and funding preparation.

Impact Measurement and Reporting: We deliver comprehensive program evaluation and reporting that demonstrates impact while meeting compliance requirements, providing regular progress updates and detailed end-of-contract reports.

We Design Programs That Meet Compliance Requirements: We have deep experience with SSBCI, ARPA, CDBG, and other federal and state funding sources, understanding both the regulatory requirements and how to create programs that deliver meaningful community impact.

We Reach Underserved Communities: We specialize in culturally responsive outreach and service delivery that reaches businesses owned by people of color, women, and entrepreneurs in underserved communities who have been traditionally left out of mainstream business support.

We Build Programs, Not Just Deliver Services: We create comprehensive business assistance programs with systems, processes, and evaluation frameworks that agencies can sustain and scale beyond a single contract period.

We Bring Real-World Business Experience: Our full-time team of business instructors and consultants have been business owners who experienced the same business challenges, bringing both professional expertise and firsthand understanding to the businesses we serve.

We Have Done This Before: We have successfully delivered business assistance programs for city, county, and state agencies across the country, consistently meeting or exceeding program goals while maintaining high satisfaction rates among both agency partners and the businesses we serve.
