A diverse and vibrant local economy.

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 several times a year as well as one-on-one technical assistance so that participants will unlock the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to thrive in local and regional markets.
