Expand Your Business
California business is flourishing: Large corporations like VISA, Ford, Nintendo and Disneyland are expanding operations here, even as small entrepreneurs are moving confidently toward second stage development.
In Loma Linda, robust retention and expansion are high priority, sustained through ongoing partnership and services. When you’re ready to expand, we’re here to facilitate all phases of the process, from planning to funding to facilities to workforce. We work collaboratively at the local, regional and state levels to put expertise and teamwork behind your expansion that adds real momentum. You have a vision; let’s realize it together with due diligence, speed and effectiveness.
Pre-expansion intelligence and analysis.
You’ll want to build your expansion on a firm foundation. Market intelligence, labor analysis, evaluation of expansion plans and other tools and services can put your organization in the strongest possible position before you take the next step in scaling up. Regional resources can assist, such as SBDC-California’s Level Up, CEO Moms and Financial Fitness programs, and BizHUUB San Bernardino, which provides free on-demand business advice online as well as face-to-face counseling.
Connections to funding.
Expansion is a serious decision and critical investment requiring thoughtful and strategic funding. Working with regional resources we’ll help you identify, evaluate and connect with funding opportunities. The Inland Empire Small Business Development Center at CSU-San Bernardino can assist in helping prepare bank-ready packages and connect you with over 100 small business lenders. Together, we’ll work to make sure your funding empowers your vision.
Facilities assistance.
Whether you want to expand your footprint, retrofit your current facility or relocate to a new site or space, let us walk you through site selection, including tours, and put real estate and construction resources at your disposal to negotiate the right site and create the most effective space.
Workforce assistance.
Whether you need to expand your workforce or upskill incumbent workers, we can connect you with high-impact training and incentives through local and state resources.
Liaising with local officials, cutting red tape.
The City of Loma Linda works together to streamline the expansion and permitting process, making sure your project moves forward expeditiously.
High-profile public relations and marketing.
An expansion is an important milestone that should raise your profile, both within your sector as well as the wider market. Our staff makes sure that expansions are well-publicized through advance announcements in press releases and social media channels, and through coordination of your opening/ribbon cutting.
