We Celebrate Our Small Business Community

National Small Business Week is April 30-May 6

Entrepreneurs and small businesses are the backbone of communities throughout

the North Country. Whether you currently own a business, are beginning to think about

starting or taking over a business or anywhere in between, the ANCA Center for

Pandemic Response (ANCA CPR) celebrates you this and every week!

Wherever you are in your business journey, take a moment in the coming week to explore

how ANCA CPR and our team of partners can support your goals and dreams.

Want to learn more about the importance of financial management? Check out this recording of our 2022 webinar, Small Business Ownership through Improved Personal Financial Management, hosted by ANCA CPR, AEDC and the Center for Businesses Transition (CBIT) partnership.

This webinar addresses questions to help aspiring business owners learn how improved personal financial health can make their business ownership dreams come true:

Would you love to start or buy a business, but your personal finances could be a stumbling block?
Do you wonder how your current personal financial health and perspective will impact that dream?
Does the idea of saving for a down payment seem out of reach?
