We all know the importance of entrepreneurs and small business growth to West Virginia’s economy. Connecting them to the right source for services, information and products is critical.

A Vision Shared, in collaboration with the West Virginia Small Business Development Centers, is creating a new, comprehensive online directory. It is designed to connect West Virginia businesses and organizations with each other for needed goods and services.

The first step in the West Virginia Biz Builder project is to collect information for inclusion on the directory from existing service providers – businesses, professional organizations, development groups and the many organizations in our great state working hard every day to grow business here (that’s YOU!). Please go online to www.WVBizBuilder.com and fill out the short registration form.

We need your help! Encourage your members and partners to also go on www.WVBizBuilders.com and register to be included in the directory. This is a free service offered to businesses and organizations, and will be a great way for organizations to find new customers.
