You have an idea… NOW WHAT???
Start your journey with a trip to your local

You can find building and site information, business retention and
expansion incentives, low interest loan programs and resources
including local contacts and referrals for services you may need.

A great next step would be to contact a local Procurement

Development Center (SBTBC).
Often these offices offer FREE business counseling and strategy
development. They can help you to create a business plan and
find funding assistance and resources. Many of these offices also
offer business training and have knowledge of Government
