BUSINESS RESOURCES DIVISION

ANDY POOLE, DEPUTY DIRECTOR

Thanks for visiting our Business Resources Division website.  This site is intended to give business owners, Montana communities and local development organizations information, technical assistance and financing to help start or expand business in Montana.

Our Montana economy is dependent on business people who take risks to create job opportunities for themselves and other Montanans. Because we all depend on private enterprise, Governors and Legislatures alike have seen the importance of supporting business development and expansion through the delivery of resources like the ones you will find here. Each of the resources explained on this site has contact information if you have questions. Let us know how we can help you make your business and community more competitive.
