Are you access Economic Stimulus resources??

If you are not, why? I know, you don't know where to go, you don't know what is available and you are to busy to figure it out on your own. Right? Well, after you read this you wont be able to use those excuses. So, here we go..
1. Google Workforce Investment Agency and the name of your city. You will more than likely find the local WIA or WIB that serves your community. If you spend 10 minutes on that site, you will be amazed at how much money they have to assist you to recruit, train and upgrade your workforce.
2. California ETP(Employee Training Program) grants. O.K. you do need to be a California business, (which is the majority of people reading my articles), and if you are, this State funded program is a MUST Check OUT!!! I know one business owner who has already accessed over $100k this year alone.
3. We cant leave out our good ol' SBA. In fact, I am very impressed with the number of economic stimulus programs the SBA has announced this year. Everything from waived origination fees to high loan to value program. If you are looking for financing, spend the time and check out what the SBA has to offer.
Well, now you know. Don't let the perception of government get in the way of your opportunity to access these allocated dollars. (I am in the process of hiring two full time Sales Representatives in a program where my county will reimburse me 130% of their salary for six months.)
Any questions about this blog, don't call me, call your local county economic development or workforce investment board. They have the dollars and the answers.
