Launch of Virtual Business Resource Makes Plan Priority a Reality
 
Succeeding in business involves perseverance, flexibility, and business knowledge. Local entrepreneurs now have a new powerful on-line resource called Lane Business Link thanks to a collaboration involving the Eugene and Springfield Chambers of Commerce, the Cities of Eugene and Springfield, Lane County's Community and Economic Development department and LCC's Small Business Development Center.

Creating this virtual one-stop resource for business was a priority in the Regional Prosperity Economic Development Plan adopted by the Cities of Eugene and Springfield along with Lane County in 2010. Lane Business Link provides that comprehensive virtual one-stop resource for business combining local, state, federal and best-of-the-web resources to help businesses start and grow. Among the many features of the new one-stop resources are:

• Government requirements for new and ongoing businesses and for employers including an interactive tool to select a business entity and links with all the forms to create the business entity. 
• Funding programs available to businesses.
• Industry-specific resources, including tools for hospitality, manufacturing, agriculture, retail, youth, and more.

The site will be updated regularly with new resources and tools.
