The Greater Arvada Chamber’s Business Resource Center is your partner for business growth and success. Whether you are starting out or looking to expand your business, we’re here to guide you through a network of tools, programs, and connections for assistance every step of the way. Below are nine ways we can support your business through the Business Resource Center (BRC).
1. Access to Expert Guidance and Mentorship: The BRC connects businesses with experienced mentors through programs like the Arvada Ascent Mentor Cohort, offering leadership and business skills development, networking, and peer support for both startups and established companies. The Chamber can also connect you with industry leaders for advice and expertise.
2. Educational Programs and Training: Investing in staff development can be costly. The BRC hosts business education events, including leadership bootcamp, leadership luncheons, and work-based learning workshops. These programs provide actionable insights on a range of topics such as leadership, talent strategy and help businesses grow and adapt.
3. Business Resources and Market Intelligence: Businesses can access tools like SizeUpArvada, which offers free market research and business intelligence. If you need assistance in finding the data you need within the platform, Ali Stofflet is available to assist you.

6. Tailored Introductions to Strategic Partners: Beyond general networking, the Chamber staff can facilitate targeted connections to vendors, service providers, or government partners that suit a business’s unique expansion plans or operational needs.
7. Support for Accessing Grants and Incentives: The BRC often has insights on little-known grant programs, tax credits, or incentive schemes specifically available in Arvada or for particular industries which helps businesses tap funding streams beyond conventional loans.
8. Crisis Management Resources: When unexpected challenges arise, such as natural disasters or sudden economic shifts, the BRC acts as a hub for emergency support, disseminating best practices, connecting affected businesses, and providing tools for rapid recovery.
9. Practical Business Amenities: The BRC offers reservable meeting and conference spaces with modern amenities. These are available at discounted rates for Chamber members and supports professional operations, client meetings, and team gatherings in a dedicated, business-friendly environment.
