Business Link is extremely helpful. Maureen answered all my questions and so much more. She made me feel more confident with my plans and guided me in the right direction. I wish I had contacted Business Link sooner but I am so happy that I found them today! Thank you so much!!
Talking to David helped us to focus and get a clearer idea of where to start. He provided honest suggestions, information and resources that matched our current needs.
