Rainier Valley Community Development Center Small Business HUB
Every business community needs a home base to foster sustainability, growth, and innovation. These home bases serve many purposes. They help new start-ups get off the ground, facilitate networking opportunities to share best practices, provide access to technical assistance and education, and so much more.
Rainier Valley Community Development Fund recognizes the importance of creating a space where the small business community can come together to solve mutual problems and support the economic development of South Seattle, and our new office has been built out with that in mind!
Our new office space has not only made room for our expanding staff. Its also created new opportunities, with a second wing of offices, a conference center, and an event space. Technical Assistance (TA) workshops have already begun with group seminars in the conference room, and more are on the horizon. Business education events open to all small business owners are on the way, along with one-on-one mentoring for aspiring entrepreneurs.
We are also using the new space to deepen partnerships, with community collaborators using our offices to provide services and referrals to other business resources. The City of Seattle’s Small Business Development Center will use one of our offices to provide TA and direct clients to other providers, and we’re looking forward to other partners using our space to bring their unique services to the community. Non-profits and other organizations are also welcome to use the conference center and event space to hold their own special events, allowing the community to capitalize on the many resources available in our neighborhoods.
RVCDF is proud to establish our business and community HUB, and we’re looking forward to working with you to make it a mainstay of South Seattle!
