Customized Assistance for WWBIC Loan Borrowers
A unique feature that we offer exclusively to WWBIC loan clients is individualized business counseling and mentoring services. Our aim is to ensure that business owners have access to the tools and skills they need to grow profitable ventures. Typically, our Business Assistance staff meets with a business owner one-on-one during the borrowing process. An assessment of the business’ situation is conducted, questions are answered and recommendations are made. Then, our staff and volunteers will work with clients on an ongoing basis, providing support and resources as needed. Our Business Assistance staff are experienced educators and former business owners who “know what it’s like” to operate a small business.
