North Charleston, South Carolina – North Charleston is making strides to support the lifeblood of its economy: small businesses. The city has announced the creation of the Small Business Enterprise Department, a move designed to provide unprecedented resources to local entrepreneurs.
City officials understand how important small companies are to maintaining the economic health of North Charleston. Community feedback said this area was not getting the help it needs. Officials chose to close the distance and build a closer relationship with nearby companies in response to that feedback.
With advice, financial resources, educational offerings, and networking chances, the new department hopes to be a complete support system. With this effort, small business owners should be able to access connections and technologies that were before unattainable.
Head of the department Frank Ancrum contributes an extensive amount of family and personal knowledge to his position. He is aware of the particular difficulties small company owners have.
“It can be an emotional roller coaster,” Ancrum says. “You have families that are depending on small business creation, you have families depending on whether they’re going to get the check, whether they did this properly.”
Ancrum underlines that business owners have the opportunity to establish important contacts and obtain vital support through this new department. The agency bills itself as a lifeline for people negotiating the sometimes-turbulent path of entrepreneurship.
Officials of the city are confident that this new project will support North Charleston’s economy and guarantee the success of small companies. Entrepreneurs seeking further details about the services offered can email [email protected] or call the department directly at 843-740-2540.
North Charleston is actually trying to empower small businesses, not just recognizing their value via this new department. This proactive move is expected to bolster the city’s backbone like never before by fostering a more dynamic and robust business community.
