Assessment
Once accepted to the program, one of our Project Managers will work with you and your staff to assess the firm. We’ll summarize strengths and weaknesses and help you identify projects to improve the business. This will be compiled into an "Adjustment Plan", which functions both as a planning document for the firm and the formal application for project funding assisstance.
You may already have projects in mind, or may wish to refine plans in discussion. Either way, we can lend our support by completing a review of the entire business, helping you make sure priorities are well thought through. Ultimately, during this step, we want to identify areas to use co-funding.
Each Adjustment Plan is customized based on the firm, its industry and its situation. The plan must be submitted to the Economic Development Administration for approval. Once it has been approved, the implementation of the projects may begin.
A brief sample of the plan's table of contents and the summary implementation table is available here.
