How the State Resource Pack works

Most small business owners don't need more content. They need one place to start, with the right links for their state.

1) Choose your state + goal

Funding, permits, taxes, hiring, growth, and more. Pick what matters today.

2) We compile trusted sources

We pull from official agencies, state portals, and reputable public databases.

3) You get a clean, usable pack

Links, checklists, and next steps organized so you can act fast without second-guessing.

Core Pack

If you're trying to grow, stabilize cash flow, or handle payroll, funding isn't just "yes or no". It's knowing which options are realistic and what your state's ecosystem supports.

  • State-level programs and portals (where available)
  • Federal programs and nationwide directories
  • Local lender directories and reputable marketplaces
  • "Funding readiness" checklist (so you don't waste applications)
  • Common documents list (so you can prepare fast)
Educational only: we provide resources and links. We are not a government agency and do not guarantee funding approval.
