ASSISTANCE CENTER

WELCOME!

A Partnership of Community Teamwork Inc. the Lowell Division of Planning and Development, Middlesex Community College, and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell

Access to financing is critical to the success of any small business. The Center can help you:

	Develop A Business Plan - All financial institutions require a business plan as part of the loan application process. We can guide you through the planning process and help you create a business plan that puts your best foot forward.
	Increase Your Credibility - The Center and its Right Start^© Training Program are respected in the financial community. Many banks in our service area refer clients to the Center for assistance. We'd like to think that having participated in the Center's programs makes you a more "bankable" candidate for a loan.
	Evaluate Different Financing Alternatives - We can help you sort out the various types of financing available and select the one that works best for your business.
	Identify Sources of Financing - Most area banks are partners in the Center. We can provide introductions and assist you in preparing your application.
