Business Solutions to Help You Thrive
KerrEDC’s Business Retention & Expansion (BRE) program strengthens local business by building relationships, identifying challenges, and delivering targeted solutions. Through regular outreach and strong partnerships, we offer customized support—from workforce training and recruitment to incentives, financing, and data insights—helping your business grow, adapt, and succeed.
Small Business Advisor provides powerful market research and business intelligence that is both industry specific and hyperlocal. It includes the same and similar data that is used by huge corporations, but which has been historically inaccessible to small businesses because of the cost and expertise required to analyze data. SizeUpKerrEDC helps to level the business playing field by empowering our local entrepreneurs and small businesses with these data insights at no cost to them so that they can make data-driven decisions just like the biggest companies.
