Our New Approach

Effective use of technology & program partners

In this new “post COVID” era, we spent a lot of time studying and gathering information on the best approach to providing supportive services. What is the best time to engage a business owner? The answer is.. probably, not when they are running their business. Two needs that were recurring from the business owner community, were a request to be able to access tools and resources outside of normal business hours, and also to gain access to resources that would allow for remote (social distance compliant), self-paced learning. Our PADBSSC Partner Platform allows just that. Now, you have not only the supportive services world at your fingertips, but a wealth of knowledge to help grow and support your business.
