Purpose
The Neighborhood Development Center is a Twin Cities non-profit organization whose mission is to help entrepreneurs increase their capacity to operate successful businesses that make a positive impact in the community.
We have many business service requests that are submitted to us with very limited capacity. As a result, we partner with local business consultants to ensure that our clients receive the best care and achieve their business goals. General business consultants work one-on-one with small businesses to create strategies, tactics, and problem-solving solutions that improve their businesses.
