Looking for business resources in Maine? Good places to start
The Small Business Administration's Small Business Resource Guide for Maine has been updated to include all the latest programs and contact information.
Marilyn J. Geroux, district director of the SBA's Maine District Office, encourages businesses to call the office at 207-622-8551 with any questions.
As we know, small business dominates the landscape in Maine. The SBA offers help for companies in the start-up phase, expansion or transition. In many cases, the information applies also to larger businesses.
For startups, there are a number of resources: SCORE, the Maine Small Business Development Centers and the Women's Business Center. Even if you have owned a business before, the mentors and counselors of the SBA resource partners can provide you with helpful insight and a fresh perspective — all of which is free or at nominal cost.
Companies in expansion mode might consider SBA's participating lenders: banks, credit unions, micro-lenders and certified development companies. The SBA has developed partnerships with these direct lenders, and they can help you with your business financing needs, whether you need a $10,000 microloan or a $5 million term loan.
