Lori Golda, Business Engagement Specialist - Speaker.

Rhode Island Commerce is a quasi-public agency, we are the official full-service, economic development organization for the state of Rhode Island. We offer free business assistance and access to funding. Attached is our brochure for your review. •Programs and Services We have many programs and services and work closely with several State agencies (DLT, Secretary of State, etc.) to address the concerns of the small business owner. We also work with many partners, (SCORE, the Small Business Development Center, SBA, etc.) who offer free technical assistance. •Financing programs We have several financing programs (Small Business Assistance program, Renewable Energy Fund, etc.) which address various business financing needs. My role is to meet with small business owners, learn about their business, and discuss available resources. We understand that each business requires different kinds of support at different times.
