Businesses of all sizes need resources and access to capital to grow and expand. To meet these demands, the Business Solutions Center partners with multiple local organizations that provide a variety of financial tools to meet the unique needs of every business. These products include: MicroEnterprise Funding: MicroEnterprise funding is available to businesses that have fewer than 5 employees and less than $500,000 in annual sales. The program also provides business development courses and services to help small businesses grow. Small Business Lending: Small business loan products are available for working capital and fixed assets like real estate, construction, renovation, and equipment through regional partners like CityWide Development and County Corp Development. Our economic development specialists work with our small business lenders to find a loan product that fits your company’s investment needs. Incentives: Financial incentives like grants, tax abatements, and workforce assistance are important when determining how and where to grow your business. The Economic and Workforce Development Specialists at the Business Solutions Center can help you identify state and local incentives and work with you to craft a package that fits your business. These incentives include: State & Local Incentives: Every community has different incentives to help their local businesses succeed, and the State of Ohio offers incentives for projects with significant job creation. From TIFs to CRAs, income tax rebates, forgivable loans, and grants for permanent improvements, Economic Development Specialists at the Business Solutions Center can assess your needs and work with local communities to put together an incentive package to help with your project. Workforce Training and Recruitment: Investing in your company’s workforce is as important as purchasing equipment. The Workforce Development specialists at the Business Solutions Center can help to craft a workforce recruitment and training plan, which will augment your existing HR department and offset the cost of providing training to your new employees. For more information on Financial Assistance and Incentives, contact us here.
"In 2013, Staub Manufacturing Solutions had no space to add the new equipment we needed to help us grow in the Dayton Region. The ED/GE Grant my company received from Montgomery County helped us to move into our new facility in Harrison Township, which gave us the ability to upgrade our equipment and ample space for our current and future operations."
The Workforce Development Specialists at the Business Solutions Center offer businesses an in-depth look at the workforce trends and research in their industries. This information includes analyses of labor trends and availability, regional wage rates, and employment statistics by occupation. Let us provide you with the information that you need to help with your expansion plans or new entrepreneurial venture. For more information on Labor Market Information, contact us here.

The Business Solutions Center partners with organizations and providers, like Community Action Partnership of the Greater Dayton Area, to provide these training opportunities. Small Business Development Courses: Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) offer a wide range of courses to companies in the Greater Dayton Region. These free sessions can help you to better manage your business financials, market your product, learn software packages like Microsoft or Quickbooks, or develop a business plan. Often these courses are available to companies at little or no cost. Employee Training Opportunities: Investing in your existing employees, by providing them with certifications or degrees that will help them to take on additional responsibilities, can be a great way to help your business grow. The Business Solutions Center partners with Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC), Sinclair College, and Wright State University to provide access to credential and academic courses and programs to help you take advantage of your company’s existing talent.

The Workforce Development Specialists at the Business Solutions Center work with businesses to develop training programs and resources to provide existing and future employees with specific skills and occupational competencies, helping the business to succeed. Available resources include: Occupational Skills Training: Montgomery County partners with regional workforce providers to offer training programs for in-demand positions and priority industries. On-The-Job Training: Taking on a new employee can be a challenge, especially if they need additional training. To help offset the costs to businesses, our “Project Hire” On-The-Job Training program reimburses up to half of a qualified individual’s wages for up to six months. You choose the candidates, you provide training, and we pay part of their salary during training. Customized Training Programs: Existing training programs may not be enough to provide the skills required for every business. The Workforce Development Specialists at the Business Solutions Center work with businesses and our regional training providers to craft training programs and classes for potential employees. And the best part is, the Business Solutions Center picks up a portion of the costs, saving you time and money. For more information on Workforce Training, contact us here.
"Project Hire is a great cost savings program that continues to keep employers like Veolia viable and the community strong. Using it lowered our labor costs and helped our bottom line. And the team is wonderful to work with!"
