Resources available for new business owners

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz and Iowa Economic Development Authority Director Debi Durham announced that through a partnership with IASourceLink and the Iowa Economic Development Authority, the Iowa Secretary of State’s office is now providing Iowans with more resources to help start a business.

The business development resources found at http://sos.iowa.gov/iasourcelink contain a variety of services from funding, to business planning information, information regarding regulations, site location assistance and more.

“These resources will help people thinking about starting a business as well as those that have already made the leap and are filing paperwork with the Iowa Secretary of State’s office,” Schultz said. “Iowa is a great place to live and work. We want to help provide information to businesses to help them succeed, grow and create jobs right here in Iowa.”

IASourceLink is now in its third year of serving as Iowa’s one-stop shop for connecting entrepreneurs and small businesses with the resources they need to grow in Iowa. IASourceLink is provided by the IEDA in partnership with the University of Northern Iowa’s MyEntre.Net and was created to ensure that Iowa’s small business and entrepreneurial community has access to information and guidance.
