No matter whether you are a brand new business owner needing help getting your
business off the ground or an established business looking to get to the next level,
I want you to have access to as many useful resources as possible to
help you succeed — including our New Business Checklist.

Our Rural RISE NC initiative connects you with mentors, business counselors,
funding sources, and more — within your community and beyond. Even better,
many of these resources are free.

Please invest the time to review and engage with these professional resources.
I am confident they can help you reach your goals.
