HELPbiz is MCbiz’s Consulting Program, which has a mission of promoting the growth of the small business community. The program is regenerative in nature – a cycle of help beginning with bigger businesses providing funding to MCbiz– administrator – and smaller businesses receiving no-cost consulting services, allowing small businesses to reach their respective next levels. Consulting hours are awarded via an application and a fee. Awardees are held accountable via the initial investment, which may be returned after respective assigned consultants verify that Customized Business Performance Plans are implemented successfully.

Selected consultants will be considered SBEs under MCbizcriteria (under 100 employees or less than $4million in gross annual receipts), and each consulting firm is responsible for providing a final report with the individual businesses annually reporting results for three subsequent years. Success is measured via the consultant reports and subsequent business reports.

Our ultimate objective is promoting the growth of the small business community and positively affecting the core of the local economy. We can be a catalyst for change and economic growth, providing a boost in the economic vitality of the region. In turn, we can harvest sustainable businesses (subcontractors for our Design and Construction primes and additional responsible businesses providing goods and services to the County and the larger community).

Since the consulting services are provided by Small Business Enterprises (SBEs), the cycle of help comes full circle. Each segment (Bigger Businesses, Smaller Businesses, & SBEs) of the HELPbiz initiative function interdependently, which strengthens the sustainability of the economy and the larger community. It is a win-win-win, and coincides with the MCbizmotto: Won by One – Initiating Opportunities, Promoting Growth.

MC biz invites Bigger Businesses to Harvest Entrepreneurial Leadership & Profitabilitybiz (HELPbiz)  for small business enterprises in its inauguration year. Sponsorship will provide amplification of firms’ participation via MCbiz’s existing marketing stream.
