How BRE Works

By now you’re probably wondering what BRE can do for your business. The answer: we can help you identify and overcome the barriers to growth.

We begin the BRE process by conducting an interview that will both introduce you to the service, and help us gain a better understanding of how your business works, and how we might be able to help.

Once we’ve conducted this initial assessment, we get down to the business of connecting you to resources that can help you grow. This might mean a referral to a partner agency for an expansion loan. Perhaps we can connect your team with new training and education opportunities. Maybe you need some introductions to help tap international markets.

In essence, your BRE officer can be a mentor, a trusted advisor, a source of information and support. BRE works by establishing a long-term strategic relationship between businesses and the RDA. Want to take advantage of this service?
