Business Assistance Web Site

The Virginia Department of Business Assistance has launched a web site to help the state’s companies. The site highlights each of the department’s concentrations: existing industry development, workforce services, financial services, small business development and administration.

The Virginia Department of Business Assistance offers counseling on small-business managment, links to capital sources and workforce training, among other programs. The department was established by the General Assembly in 1996 with a goal of strengthening the state’s economy by providing a crucial point of contact for business and industry. Dave Dickson is the director of the department and can be reached at (804) 371-8216.
