S.C. Commerce launches Business Development website

Posted on

New tool provides resources for companies of all sizes 

 

The South Carolina Department of Commerce today announced the launch of a new business development website. This online platform offers S.C. companies – of all sizes – a multitude of valuable resources throughout the phases of development and growth.

 

SCBizDev.SCCommerce.com provides convenient access to a wide range of information and is designed to be a “one stop” resource for the state’s business community. The website helps connect companies – large and small, new and existing – with funding, local resources, buyers, data and analytics to guide smart and efficient business decisions.

 

“To maintain South Carolina’s competitive edge, it is imperative companies have access to a myriad of resources needed to grow and succeed,” said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt. “Our state has built a reputation for our business-friendly climate. This new online asset is the latest tool in our arsenal that connects with the needs of all companies that call South Carolina home – now and in the future.”

 

Among its many features, the new site has a robust resource directory providing connections to one-on-one business consultations, funding opportunities, as well as workforce recruitment, innovation and export information. It also includes access to a new business intelligence tool that enables individual companies to evaluate S.C. markets and competition.
