DEEP
As the state continues to introduce solutions that make it easier to start, manage or grow your business in Connecticut, there are two programs at the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) you should be aware of.

DEEP has launched the Client Concierge Service, a central point of contact that guides applicants through the environmental permitting and review process. The service is available to all businesses, but is particularly helpful for organizations managing complex, multiple-permit projects.

DECD
Digital Platform for Women-Owned Business
Women own or co-own 45% of all businesses in the United States. These businesses represent all types of industries and are owned by all types of women. The majority are small, with great potential for growth in both revenues and job creation. That’s why the SBA created Ascent and packed it with in-depth information to help you grow your business.
Business Resources
Professional business advisors are ready to help you investigate capital opportunities, prepare loan documents, export your products, determine growth strategies, complete market research, develop marketing plans, prepare for business disruption, and more.

CT PTAC helps businesses by providing one-on-one counseling at NO COST, identify and explain government contracting opportunities at federal, state and local levels and advise businesses on how to find, pursue and manage government contracts.
