Last fall the Massachusetts Department of Business & Technology awarded a second Technical Assistance Grant to the Quaboag Valley Community Development Corporation (QVCDC). Funds from this grant are intended to assist small businesses around our region with access to consultants, experts, and training. New programs, seminars, and services will be available around the region this Spring as the Quaboag Valley CDC launches it’s recently funded Technical Assistance program.

In addition to one-on-one technical assistance; business-planning courses, computer training, and seminars several Marketing & Financial workshops are scheduled on topics such as: Developing a Marketing Plan, Creating Your Own Marketing Materials, Bookkeeping Basics and Managing Cash Flow. These seminars are open to existing small businesses and soon-to-be entrepreneurs.
