Event on May 5 at Santa Fe Business Incubator Aims to Grow and Retain Santa Fe County Businesses
The Santa Fe Business Incubator (SFBI) teams up with Santa Fe County and more than a dozen business assistance organizations to host the second Business Forum event at the Santa Fe Business Incubator, 3900 Paseo del Sol in Santa Fe, 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 5, 2015.
“This business outreach event will assist businesses with whatever questions they may have, ranging from assistance on business plans to financing options to business registrations. We want to help businesses grow in the County and create jobs, and there are many free options available to provide that assistance,” said David Griscom, Economic Development Manager for Santa Fe County.
Roseanna Perea of WESST, a participating provider who attended the November Business Forum, said, “Research and networking always helps. This is one stop to learn about available business services and consulting.”
The Business Forum, which is free and open to the public, specifically targets business owners in the unincorporated rural areas of Santa Fe County, although any business located in the City is welcome to attend.
In addition to information about permitting requirements, laws and regulations, business owners or those interested in starting a business can discuss their questions with more than a dozen different providers who offer County-wide services.
May’s event will include representatives from these organizations: Santa Fe County, Santa Fe Business Incubator, Los Alamos Connect, Santa Fe Community Foundation, Santa Fe SBDC, NMSBA-Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, The Loan Fund, Santa Fe Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, WESST, Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce, SCORE, The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission, KIVA Zip Crowdfunding and Start up Santa Fe.
