Entrepreneurship
If you're thinking of starting or expanding a business in Louisa County, LDG is here to help. Here are some of the areas can provide assistance:
- Assistance in writing a Business Plan
- Site Selection
- Funding Sources - including access to a revolving loan fund
- Strategic Marketing
- Referral to State & Local Agencies
A word about funding:
We often get multiple requests for assistance with locating the magic 'small business grant.' Unfortunately, no magic grant exists that is easy to get and will eliminate the need to raise additional capital. That said, grant and loan programs are out there. Some of these might help bridge the gap between your capital investment, the bank's financial assistance and the expected start-up costs.
Feel free to call or e-mail us with questions. We're here to help guide you in the right direction.
