Immigrant-owned Small Business Assistance Program
The Immigrant-owned Small Business Assistance Program (ISBAP) aims to increase financial stability and long-term success for small, immigrant-owned businesses in Dane County. In an already competitive environment, small, local businesses owned by immigrants face unique challenges. ACCD works to ensure these businesses can continue to enrich and provide for our community by offering culturally tailored business management workshops, mentorship, and technical assistance so that participants will gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to thrive in local and regional markets.
