Sometimes an introduction is all you need.
The Columbus Chamber opens the door to connections and resources through business development programs like these.
Contacts2Contracts helps connect you with your next customer. This program identifies small- to medium-sized businesses that are ready and able to supply larger companies locally, regionally, and nationally. The goal of this initiative is to foster relationships between small and large companies—stimulating regional business and creating a stronger business community.
Diversity Bridge is an economic development initiative that provides links to beneficial programs for businesses from start-up to growth. The primary goal of this initiative is the creation of jobs and wealth in the minority business community. It provides connection to a one-stop web portal that delivers business resources, a common M/WBE certification application and engages buyers, services providers, and certifying agencies to assist you in achieving your business goals.
CEO Straight Talk offers opportunities for business CEOs to meet and engage with each other in order to address the issues, experiences, and challenges they face – and take their business to the next level! This subscription service will allow CEOs and COOs to meet monthly for confidential sharing with each other.

This site consolidates and helps you navigate resources and funding sources as you plan, start and advance a business.
