DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Lansing, Michigan, seeks a vendor to provide free, confidential, and individualized support for small businesses. Services are expected to include business advising, market research, and training designed to address identified service gaps in communities where sufficient advising capacity is not readily accessible.
The selected provider will help maintain access to high-quality small business advising while supporting a transition from a broadly distributed statewide service model to a more coordinated, gap-driven approach. Resources should be deployed where they provide needed capacity, expertise, or geographic reach, and the services should extend existing state infrastructure through coordination with small business support hubs, trusted connector networks, and other entrepreneurial support organizations. This coordination should include making and receiving warm referrals.
