WILMINGTON, NC – The Cape Fear Community College Small Business Center and other small business centers across the state have been awarded a special allotment of discretionary funds to help small business owners as they face continuing challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Reboot, Recover, Rebuild (R3), made possible by North Carolina’s General Assembly H1043—which, as a response to the current economic crisis, provides grants to North Carolina small business centers—will provide small businesses with free in-depth counseling, coaching, information, and resources in over 40 different subject areas.

“We are in a unique position to be able to offer a worthwhile program like R3 to help our local small businesses recover from the devastating effects of COVID-19,” said CFCC Small Business Center Director Jerry Coleman. “R3 has added additional funds that will allow CFCC’s Small Business Center to connect industry-specific counselors with those in need.”

The CFCC Small Business Center will partner with local subject matter experts to assist businesses in New Hanover and Pender counties with the following:

  • General business guidance
  • Assessing the economic impact of the pandemic
  • Strategies for scaling business operations
  • Break-even and cash flow analysis
  • Marketing plans
  • Review of financial obligations
  • Communications with creditors
  • Loan package preparation
  • Business resilience strategies
  • Referrals to relevant sources of assistance

Availability is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. For additional information about R3, call 910-362-7216 or email CFCC’s Small Business Center at ghayes@cfcc.edu today.
