GEDA released the Business Resource Guide on Jan. 28.
Siska S. Hutapea, founder and president of Cornerstone Valuation Guam Inc. and chairwoman of the GEDA board of directors, said in a statement that the outreach empowers entrepreneurs and strengthens the community.
“When our local businesses succeed, our villages, families, and workforce succeed along with them,” she said.
The handout will be given at GEDA’s upcoming workshops, tradeshows, and business fairs and are a part of the agency’s mission to strengthen Guam’s economy.
“GEDA is committed to ensuring that every Guam business, whether they are just starting or preparing to scale, has access to the financial tools and support systems needed to succeed,” said GEDA CEO and administrator, Christina D. Garcia. “This guide puts those resources directly into the hands of our local business community.” mbj
