Thinking about starting a new business or expanding an existing one? Here’s a chance to test drive your idea with a business advisor—for free!
As part of its Open to Business Program, the City of St. Louis Park is collaborating with the Metropolitan Consortium of Community Developers (MCCD) to provide one-on-one counseling with a business advisor. This is an opportunity to help prospective and existing entrepreneurs with planning and organizing their business ideas, financial management, marketing, regulatory compliance and leasing or purchasing property. Additionally, a small business loan program can help entrepreneurs access the capital they need to start or grow their business. 
 
To be eligible for the free services you must live or work in St. Louis Park; the business does not need to be located in the city. 

15-minute walk-in meetings are available on the fourth Monday of each month from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm at St. Louis Park City Hall. 30-minute consultations are also available by appointment. 

For more information call Rob Smolund at MCCD at 612.789.7337, ext. 11.
