The purpose of the Resource Wizard is to assist you in locating resources in your area that can help your business grow and thrive. When you begin the Wizard, you will first be asked to select the geographic region, county, or city where your business is or will be located. You may then choose from several menus listing the various types of resources available in that area, both funding and non-funding. Based on your answers, you will receive a customized checklist of programs that most closely match your needs. 

To prevent server overload, please limit the number of choices you make. It will be faster to make more than one search rather than have the server time out.

Among the resources found in the Resource Wizard are:

Agricultural loans and resources                     
Angel and venture capital resources
Bank loan programs
Business incubators
Chambers of commerce
Economic development organizations
Government procurement opportunities (selling to state and federal government)
Import/Export assistance
SBA loan programs
Special programs for women, minorities, veterans, and disadvantaged businesses
