PURPOSE
This series is intended to provide entrepreneur support professionals (anyone in an official position that a small or start-up business person asks for help) preliminary assessment skills so they can more quickly and effectively diagnose the issues and send the business owner to the appropriate resource for help.

AUDIENCE
 This series is directed to the many government, academic, economic development, chamber, community development and other front-line professionals who are contacted by entrepreneurs and small business owners wanting help to grow a business in their community.  Our Upstate Region has multiple resources to help businesses.  Determining the right resources and where they are becomes the challenge.
