LACONIA — Belknap Economic Development Council will be allocating more than $250,000 to support small business development in the region. Working with the New Hampshire Small Business Development Center, Belknap EDC will be able to directly support businesses with access to technical assistance, business plan development, direct grant, financing and other resources.
The Community Development Block Grant Microenterprise Program, administered by the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority is for low- to moderate-income microenterprises (those with fewer than five employees) and start-ups to provide a full range of entrepreneurial training and technical assistance services.
“We are pleased to partner with CDFA, SBDC, and our strategic partners to provide this much needed one on one support to our small business community,” said Belknap EDC’s Executive Director Justin Slattery.
A qualifying business must be classified as a for-profit entity with five or fewer employees, be in current operation or in start-up mode, be located within Belknap County and meet specific income requirements. For more information, visit belknapedc.org.
