About the Program
The Butte County BiP is an innovative approach to growing companies and creating jobs in our community.
Since 2003, the BiP Program has assisted more than 30 entrepreneurs in Butte County. Some of our success stories are featured in this informational video.
The basic premise of the program is that business growth will occur when sound business models are combined with expert mentoring, hands-on technical assistance and the appropriate financing tools.
Companies that meet the program's eligibility criteria receive hands-on mentoring assistance targeted specifically to increase the client company's business output, identify new customers and markets, sell the company's products and services, and manage existing resources more effectively.
The consultants who provide services through the program possess expertise in a variety of business sectors, have actual experience in forming and growing entrepreneurial ventures and have the management training skills necessary to assist businesses with a wide variety of issues related to business start-up, expansion, and retention.
The Butte County BiP is one more way in which Butte County is establishing itself as Northern California's Home of the Entrepreneur. If building a successful entrepreneurial company is central to your vision, come join us!
Grant funding for the Butte County BiP was provided by the California Department of Housing and Community Development.
