As a hub of resources, the BBRC provides a startup-question checklist for new or future small business owners, including a flowchart that will walk you through the process of initiating your business in Bristol. Current business owners can find applicable tools for sustaining and growing their businesses through BBRC’s diverse network of organizations, firms, and small business entrepreneurs.
Research data has indicated that there is a need to assist the efforts of these businesses whether it is in the area of a startup, existing, or expanding company. The Bristol Chamber of Commerce has partnered with several organizations and entities in the spirit of creating jobs. Lisa Meadows, President and CEO said, “The resources are there. It is just a matter of making certain that everyone knows what is available to them. We want to organize, align and promote all of the services that are offered to this business sector.” Many economic development and local leaders are now embracing entrepreneurship as a development strategy.
