Small Business Technical Assistance
Plain language, no acronyms, no jargon. A business owner sitting across the table needs a next step they can take this week, not a framework.
What this covers
One-on-one business counseling
Workshops and events, typically two to three per quarter
Lender readiness and loan product education
Outreach and marketing strategy for regional programs
Public speaking for small business, financial institution, and public sector audiences
Program record maintenance and outcome reporting against business and impact goals
Who hires this
CDFIs, chambers, economic development organizations, and regional programs hire me to deliver technical assistance on their behalf. Business owners reach me through those programs rather than by direct contract.
What you receive
Counseling session records and follow-up plans. Workshop curricula and materials. Outreach and engagement materials. Activity logs maintained in Salesforce or your system. Outcome reports covering business and impact metrics.
