New businesses often need access to free and low-cost resources and technical assistance. The Greensboro area is home to many agencies who are affiliated with the Small Business Consortium. Members of the Consortium meet monthly and serve as a referral network, with referrals between members, as well as with local bankers, accountants, attorneys, business consultants and private fee-based service providers.
