Assistance & Opportunities For Business Available at EDC

Welcome to the Expo!

Existing or start-up business assistance is available here on Whidbey Island at your Island County Economic Development Council office.

Small-business development materials used for business planning and cash-flow projections are just some of the available resources on file for your use.

No-cost business counseling services, including SCORE counseling, can be scheduled to assist you in preparing your plans.

For those with an idea or a dream of owning their own business, your EDC offers a free 2-hour start-up workshop at WorkSource Whidbey in Oak Harbor each month. Check with the EDC or WorkSource for time and dates.

Clients can also request applications from the EDC’s nontraditional lending programs.

Alternative loan funds and financial packaging assistance is delivered here at your EDC office.

The SCORE business counseling program offers an invaluable service for your local business community. If you need assistance in forming your business plans and cash-flow assumptions or someone to help you work through an opportunity or maybe a challenge, schedule an appointment with our local SCORE counselor.

Island County Economic Development Council Executive Director Ron Nelson and Deputy Director Wendy Shingleton.

O

n behalf of the Island County Economic Development Council, welcome to the 19th Island County Biz Expo.

Coming to the show demonstrates your personal commitment to our county businesses – in many cases, friends, family and neighbors.

The vendors you will see at this show are from our local community. They live here, send their children to local schools, vote in local elections, and are committed to providing you the best service and products because, at any time, they will see you in a grocery store, at church, or out fishing on the beach.

It’s also their businesses that help keep your tax rates low. Without the millions in tax revenue provided each year by county business, personal property-tax rates would skyrocket. By supporting your local businesses, you’re not just supporting a fellow Islander, you’re supporting your entire community.

I look forward to seeing you on the show floor.

Ron Nelson Executive Director

Invest In Your Community By Buying and Using Local!

Information is Power Every year, more and more clients representing all business sectors take advantage of our no-cost, confidential services. Let us help you in finding solutions to your needs.
