About Us
Who we are
We take a team approach to supporting businesses. With decades of varied business experience and knowledge, we work together to help you come up with solutions.
We offer three services to our communities:
We have been helping businesses stabilize and grow in Whatcom County, in Washington state since 1983. Our business strategists provide in-depth, confidential business advice to businesses, free-of-charge in Whatcom County. Call 733-4014 for an appointment.
For over 24 years we've been strengthening businesses and communities by integrating business intelligence research tools with counseling in Whatcom County. Today, thanks to funding from the Washington State legislature, we've expanded our "economic gardening" research services to all Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) and rural Economic Development Councils (EDCs) in Washington State. Contact Tom Dorr for more information.

We're also involved in special projects on a fee-for-service basis for local governments, non-profit organizations, and economic development service providers. Examples of past special projects include:
- Surveys
- Feasibility studies
- Cost/benefit analysis
- Business plan development
