We can’t wait to meet you! Once you request advising, you’ll receive an email (check spam) the next day with a link to match with an advisor and schedule your appointment.

The average time until appointment is two weeks. We offer virtual (most preferred by business owners) and in-person appointments at our downtown Roanoke office location.

Have you done your homework? Run the numbers? Gathered the courage to finally call yourself an entrepreneur and connect with an advisor?

(Don’t worry, no one ever feels completely ready…)

Your first step is attending our Smart Start course, either Live (virtual) or On-Demand. Live sessions are held monthly and recommended, as you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and make connections.

Once completed, send us an email through the link below to let us know you’re ready for advising!

It’s a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help you with financing, marketing, bookkeeping, regulations, taxes, and hiring your first employee.

Feeling inspired and hungry for knowledge? Check out our extensive resource library and attend upcoming workshops, classes, and events to help decide if entrepreneurship is in your future.

Once you have solidified your idea and are ready to get started, we can help!
