Business help available

There’s help for local small businesses, and they may not even know it. The Adirondack North Country Association reminded the public this week that small business owners are invited to access free and low-cost services through the Center for Pandemic Response.

“We want people to know that no matter what kind of business they operate and no matter where they are in their business journey, we can connect them with resources and professional networks to address their needs and plan for the future,” said Danielle Delaini, ANCA’s Entrepreneurial Economy Program director. “These services cover practical concerns like fixed costs, supply chain efficiencies and marketing, as well as holistic goals like improved communication, diversity and belonging in the workplace.”

ANCA’s CPR team works closely with clients to do the following:

– Create or update a business or strategic plan to meet financial goals

– Grow digital marketing, online presence, and social media to reach new customers

– Reduce overhead and energy costs

– Apply for and manage business funding assistance

– Develop a transition plan to sell or change ownership

– Improve workplace communication

– Learn about health insurance opportunities

– Strengthen welcoming and belonging for diverse staff and visitors

– Participate in shared aggregation and distribution services

– Stay up to date on other small business services and programs hosted by ANCA and partners across the region and beyond

CPR staffers work with a network of expert service providers, including the Adirondack Economic Development Corporation, CITEC Business Solutions, Cooperative Development Institute, North Country Chamber of Commerce, SUNY Canton Small Business Development Center and the Center for Businesses in Transition partnership.
