The Rural Enterprise Accelerator Partnership is a regional program that delivers assistance to entrepreneurs over a videoconference network. The Texas communities of Lamesa, Levelland, and Littlefield are joined by Hobbs, NM forming a unique multi-state cooperation for entrepreneurial support.

 

Each community provides new or existing entrepreneurs with a location for videoconferencing allowing them to obtain one-on-one counseling, business mentoring, skills training, and seminars furnished by the Northwest Texas Small Business Development Region Network (NWTSBDC). As a result, individuals can connect to seminars and training just as easily as those who are attending locally.

 

Videoconferencing provides an effective and efficient means to deliver the NWTSBDC’s full array of programs and services to participants without them having to leave their own neighborhoods.

 

  Types of Service:

 Business Plan Development

Financial Planning and Cash Flow Analysis

Marketing and Demographic Breakdowns

Federal Business Procurement

Assistance with Manufacturing related issues

Strategic Partner Linkages

Comprehensive Business Training Programs

 

 

REAP’s goal is to strengthen the entrepreneurial assets available to surrounding areas in order to build more sustainable businesses in our rural population centers.
