The mission of the Business Assistance Task Force (BATF) is to facilitate
access to appropriate resources for existing businesses in Billerica.
The Task Force identified several key components to accomplish this task:
- The Resource Links provide ongoing tools that allow
businesses, existing or start up, to locate the resources nececssary
to solve their specific challenges. The intent is to update these links
at least annually, more frequently as changes warrant.
- For those businesses who feel that they can be a resource to other
businesses in the Billerica community, we have created the Resource
Identification Form. If your business/entity falls into any of the
curently identified resource areas:
- capital funding
- labor and training
- growth and development
- government constituent services
- local business support
- local government
- marketing resources
- organizations
- other government resources
- tax incentive programs
Please complete this form and return to the Alliance office. A business
may find that it falls under more than one category. Please identify
all categories that are appropriate. The Task Force reserves the right
to make final determination as to the categories under which a business
or other entity may be listed If a business/entity identifies a resource
not covered, it is encouraged to contact the Task Force for review and
addition to this site.
- To help with the Task Force's efforts in clearly identifying additional
areas of concern that the business community has that need to be addressed,
a Local Business Survey has been
created. The form is available from the Alliance office as well as at
the Town Clerk's office and the Town Assessor's office at Town hall.
This is an important tool that helps the Task force stay current on the
needs of the business community it serves.
- And for the business who has difficulty in identifying the resource(s)
that fit their needs, we have designed the Business
Support Request Form. The business in question would complete the
form and send it to the BATF committee who would review it and call the
business to setup a face to face meeting. The purpose of this meeting
is to assist the business in identifying the resources and to facilitate
access.
IT IS ALWAYS THE GOAL OF THE TASK FORCE AND THE ALLIANCE TO ASSIST BUSINESSES
WHEREVER AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
A THRIVING BILLERICA BUSINESS COMMUNITY MEANS A WIN FOR ALL INVOLVED -
THE BUSINESS AND THE COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE.
