Small Business Administration
These are difficult economic times, but small businesses continue to be the driving force in our economy. I am more than happy to assist individuals who are interested in starting or expanding Tennessee-based business by providing information on any available government financing, counseling, and training programs.
If you are unable to secure the help you need by using the following resources, I am more than happy to try to help you. However, I will need your written permission to assist you most issues involving Small Business Administration. A PRIVACY RELEASE FORM (bottom of the page) will need to be completed and sent along with a detailed explanation of your request for assistance.
