Grow MN! Online Business Resources Website is Live!

We are excited to share that the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce has created an Online Business Resource directory! If you are a business owner or are looking to start a business this is sure to be a great resource.

"During Grow Minnesota! visits, many businesses have voiced their frustration in trying to locate relevant resources, as well as connect with the appropriate resource contact person. The goal of the Business Resource pages is to get individuals to the correct person and resource/s faster, in order to reduce time and frustration on the part of business people." They have been narrowed down to seven categories:

business financing
entrepreneurship
environmental & energy
exporting/importing
research & data tools
start & manage a business
workforce development.
