Business Assistance

Business Assistance or Technical Assistance
WMEF is committed to ensuring the success of our region’s businesses.  Most small businesses could benefit from specialized outside guidance to improve operations, increase profits, manage growth, and ensure longevity.  WMEF works to connect businesses and entrepreneurs with the appropriate expertise to build, grow, and improve their businesses.  This type of assistance is called Technical Assistance.  WMEF collaborates with regional agencies, member organizations and private consultants to provide high quality support to area businesses.

Request Technical Assistance
If you need help with a business plan, completing your application, marketing your products or service, tracking and understanding your business finances, streamlining your operations, managing risk, obtaining legal counsel, or managing growth please submit the Technical Assistance Request.
