SSBCI Technical Assistance (TA) Program Overview
The Wisconsin Department of Administration has selected the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation as a subrecipient; legal, accounting, and financial advisory services are provided through the University of Wisconsin System (UWSA). UWSA assists very small and underserved businesses preparing to apply for support from state and/or federal small business programs and connects companies directly with Wisconsin’s SSBCI Capital Program.
Two UWSA institutes are involved in this program:
- UWSA’s Institute for Business & Entrepreneurship (IBE) provides technical assistance (TA) to entrepreneurs, businesses, and economic development professionals across the state. IBE has established a dedicated SSBCI TA Center to coordinate project activities. TA includes direct, one-on-one consulting either in person or virtual, on demand resources through the project’s website, and targeted training, both in person and virtually.
- University of Wisconsin Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic (LEC) is an experienced “law firm” housed within the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law School. LEC provides legal advice to underserved and very small businesses and provides training and outreach events designed to identify borrowers in need of one-on-one counseling and supportive referrals. The LEC has implemented a hybrid model of technical assistance, which includes increased capacity for the provision of direct legal services, and thoughtfully designed, professionally rendered on-demand resources.
Total allocation: $1.9 million
