The Open for Business program is an economic development initiative which aims to support small businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs. Powered by the Wells Fargo Open for Business Fund, we offer self-guided online workshops, monthly webinars, and one-on-one consulting (which are all provided in both English and Spanish).
All of these services are provided at no cost. All current business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs intending to establish, purchase, or improve a business are eligible and encouraged to participate.
This program is coordinated by our national affiliate, the Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP), to provide services to small businesses across the entire country.
