Small Business Resiliency Network

Culturally relevant assistance for business owners and organizations

Commerce strongly supports an equitable economy for all Washingtonians. We are investing in and partnering with organizations that can provide assistance.

Partners of the Small Business Resiliency Network (SBRN) provide culturally and linguistically relevant assistance and other business support services at no cost to entrepreneurs, small businesses and nonprofits – with an emphasis on those owned by historically marginalized and underserved persons – throughout Washington.

Technical assistance from trusted community messengers can help you with:

  • Finding and applying for resources
  • Technical assistance
  • Accessing translation assistance
  • Navigating local, state and federal resources

Additional Support

The Washington Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is a network of expert business advisors working in communities across the state to help small business owners start, grow and rebuild their businesses through no-cost, confidential, one-on-one consulting and advising.
