Region 9 Economic Development District of SW Colorado Inc Burnett Dr, Durango

I have had a great experience with Region 9. The entire step of the way I was informed as to how to move forward and where we stand. I originally called with high drive but little hope as the start up process of a business is very difficult. After my first phone call I gained an enormous amount of hope and even more drive than before. I was determined to make this work once speaking with Region 9. I did everything I could to understand business development and was also helped along the way with Region 9. I am officially able to follow my dreams and I couldn't have done it on my own. Thank you so much to all the staff at Region 9, you guys are life changers.

Region 9’s staff and volunteer board members have given their time, energy, experience and focus to support the regional business community for many years. They have made it possible for start ups and small businesses to become successful, adding an economic boost and numerous jobs to the community.

Region 9 does a tremendous job of helping businesses to start and grow, creating employment opportunites and economic activities in SW Colorado.

I've spent 100's of thousands of dollars to develop new products. Brought finished samples in. Needed a small loan just to pay for shipping inventory that is fully paid for. These knuckleheads rejected me. I could sell 4% of that inventory and pay them back.
