Finding the right small business resource can be challenging. Entrepreneurs often spend valuable time searching for funding opportunities, technical assistance, educational programs and support organizations that can help them start, stabilize or grow. At the same time, service providers and support organizations need a reliable way to connect clients with the right services. That is why COSE created the Small Business Resource Hub, a tool designed to make those connections faster and easier.

The Small Business Resource Hub covers 17 counties and serves as a central gateway for small business owners and resource providers across Greater Cleveland, offering access to a wide range of nonprofit, local, state and federal resources designed to support business success. It helps users identify the most relevant organizations, opportunities and resources — whether they are launching a new venture, expanding an existing business or helping others navigate available support.

Now, rather than searching multiple websites or relying on personal networks, users can access a curated collection of resources in one place.

The platform makes it easier for business owners and support providers to discover, connect and engage with the resources they need, while also bringing visibility to the many organizations working to support small businesses and encouraging collaboration across the region’s entrepreneurial community.
