Small Business Intake Form
Suppose you are starting a business in the Yakima Valley or considering entrepreneurial ventures.
You’ll discover a variety of helpful resources are available. The YCDA Business Intake Form aims to streamline our assistance process, enabling us to better grasp your unique business needs and offer tailored guidance.
You can reach out to YCDA’s Bilingual Business Development Manager or Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Certified Advisor. The form is divided into three different phases; choose the one that best fits your needs.
This phase is designed to gather information about the entrepreneur’s business concept, their relevant experience, and the ownership structure. It aims to assess their preparedness, background, and initial business model to understand how serious and committed they are to starting their business.
This phase is tailored for businesses that are primarily focused on growth and customer retention. It aims to identify their growth strategies, financial performance, and areas where they seek assistance for expansion. Advisors in this phase help business plan for sustainable growth and increased customer loyalty.
In this phase, the focus shifts to established business. The goal is to understand their current challenges, goals, operational processes, and strategies. Entrepreneurs in this phase are looking for assistance with existing business operations and are exploring directions for growth or optimization.
