The Business of Business Development
Creating Economic Advantage in the North Country
Please take a moment to profile your services for future resource directory publications - Thank you.

Welcome
...to the Registration Site for the North Country’s Technical Assistance Project. As a North Country service provider, we are asking your cooperation in building a comprehensive profile of resources available to businesses in our region. Accordingly, please complete the following questionnaire to be included in future compilations of resource directories.

This questionnaire has been developed to collect information regarding various skill levels as well as types of assistance provided. This perspective will help to build a referral system that will allow those who are more generalist in a particular area, to readily identify those who are specialist, if a more specific level of assistance is required to support a particular client.

The results of this survey will be published for access by both resource providers and the stakeholders served. If you have any questions - something is not clear, or something you do seems to be missing from the questionnaire - please e-mail us at bedco@ncia.net, or call 603-752-3319.

About This Project
The US Forest Service has provided funding to the Business Enterprise Development Council (BEDCO) to examine the business development needs of both entrepreneurs and existing North Country businesses. Click here to view a map showing the towns included in this area. The first phase of the project is to identify types and sources of business technical assistance presently available in the North Country region. A wide range of North Country programs including chambers of commerce, business and economic development groups, trade associations, downtown business support groups and others provide such assistance. Your help in completing this questionnaire is a vital first step in this process.
