The purpose of the Resource Wizard is to assist you in locating resources in your area that will help your business grow and thrive.  

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 that are available, both funding and non-funding. Based on your answers, you will receive a customized checklist of programs that match your needs.

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
