Supporting Small Businesses

Technical Assistance

When you are a small business or non-profit and can’t run a question through your PR, HR, or Accounting Department, what do you do?

One option is to come to Woodlands for Technical Assistance.

This program plays several roles at Woodlands. Serving businesses throughout both the Lenders and the Mon Forest Towns service areas, our business advisors are trained to field, research, and answer all of your business development questions. They can assist you in developing a business plan and financial projections for a new idea. They can advise, suggest, and direct you to resources and information to help make your business decisions.

We also have funding available to help pay for professional services and training/education opportunities. This includes, but is not limited to, web development, strategic planning, accounting services, engineering/architectural consulting, and more.

Finally, if you are considering applying for a loan through Woodlands or another financial institution, our Technical Assistance program can help you prepare documents and applications, evaluate loan terms, and qualify for the funding you need to move your project forward.

Proof of Positive?

“Our work with Woodlands has positively impacted our organization beyond measure.”

Up a creek with a paddle

“The technical assistance we received from Woodlands literally changed the trajectory of our organization. We now have a clearly defined plan that is driving our organization to new levels.”

We are grateful for you too!

“We will be forever grateful for the timely and professional assistance we received from Woodlands.”
