How it Works

1. Share Your Story - Schedule an interview with a trained volunteer or development professional from your community. The meeting will include a comprehensive conversation about the past, present and future plans for your business.
2. Connect With the Resources Your Business Needs Today – Based on your unique business needs, your local development office will work to quickly connect you to the right resources and information in the network. Don’t need anything today? You’ll have a relationship with an advocate if a need arises in the future.
3. Help Build a Better Business Community - Your voice becomes one of hundreds as business leaders from throughout the region share their opinions and attitudes about doing business in the Richmond area. This information will help policy leaders better understand the business environment and give them information to help remove barriers to business growth.
