How We Can Help

Whether you are a would-be entrepreneur with just the seed of an idea or an experienced business owner looking to expand, our team of Regional Business Managers can provide you one-on-one assistance and counseling to help you succeed. And all of our services are free! 

Our four county-based Business Managers have decades of experience between them and can assist with a variety of needs, including:

• Providing advice and guidance
  • Services include helping you refine your business idea, figuring out your next steps, and checking in regularly. They don’t hand you off to someone and leave you, they stay with you for the length of your small business journey. 
• Helping you navigate permitting process and get answers to issues you are having challenges with
  • Your Business Manager can serve as a liaison for you with state agencies, helping you to cut through red tape, reducing the amount of time you spend dealing with government and allowing you to focus on opening or growing your enterprise. Having issues with getting a permit? They can help identify the roadblock and work with you and the state agency to assist. Having challenges with other business-related issues? Talk to your business manager and they will work to get you an answer. 
• Connecting with resource organizations
  • There are nearly 100 different organizations, government entities, non-profits and more that provide services directly to Delaware small businesses. A Business Manager can help you connect with the right one based on your needs. Or you can use this site’s Business Resource Connection to find the right assistance for you.
• Accessing capital
  • Cash flow can be make or break for a business. A Business Manager can help you connect with funding opportunities offered by our incentive programs, or opportunities from national, regional, local and non-profit resources.  Information on DSB’s programs is available on the Incentives page.
