Small Business Support & Programming
What We Do
Small businesses are crucial to Durham County's economic vitality. Through collaborative efforts, a diverse array of resources and programs have been established to foster their success. These include business plan development, marketing strategy creation, financing options, management skills training, and tech skills enhancement.
We offer support to organizations like E3 Durham and Knox St. Studios that play pivotal roles in delivering these services. E3 Durham is a program designed to help entrepreneurs equitably start, grow, and scale businesses. Knox St. Studios provides direct services through accelerators, incubators, and counseling, with a focus on raising awareness in the technology sector. Additionally, the County supports innovation through programs like Innovate Durham, which partners start-up businesses with government resources to test new products and ideas.
