WHAT IS the Bristol Business Resource Center?
The Bristol Business Resource Center (BBRC) was developed to assist new and existing small business owners. The BBRC offers assistance with demographics, training, and partnering business owners with agencies that can answer your questions; look for all the organizations that are partnering to assist you at the bottom of this page.
Karen Witcher, Director of the BBRC said, "You do not have to be a member of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce to use this resource. The BBRC is available at the Chamber because this is usually the first place someone comes to for help. Providing business owners with the tools to succeed helps strengthen our local economy. Most of our services are free and are strictly confidential."
