Government & Community Small-Business Support (Founder's Directory)
The PDF holds this page's summary, my note and the link — one page you can keep or print.
What it is
The government and community pages of the Founder's Directory: SBA, local SBDCs, SCORE mentoring, MBDA business centers, Women's Business Centers, Grants.gov, SBIR/STTR R&D grants, plus Comcast RISE, Verizon Digital Ready, Hello Alice, IFundWomen, and LISC.
In plain terms
This directory lists government and community programs that support small business owners and startups. You can use it to find free business coaching, connect with expert mentors, and search for grants.
Why I recommend it
Free 1:1 business coaching from an SBDC or SCORE mentor is the most underused resource in this whole library. Book a session before you pay a consultant.
