PROJECTS WE FUND
The challenges faced by small companies vary greatly. The strength of our program is in its flexibility to address specific needs. GLTAAC helps companies identify, select, secure and finance the best outside expertise (typically a professional consultant, but not always) for each improvement project. Many firms identify this outside expertise themselves. Other times GLTAAC assists with the search for the right resource. Firms can qualify for up to $75,000 in matching funds to help with the cost of business improvement projects.
