The Guam Economic Development Authority released its Business Resource Guide, a one-page document designed to streamline how Guam businesses can access its programs and tools.
The guide consolidates financing opportunities, export development programs, local product branding support, investment incentives, and venture capital pathways, which GEDA says gives Guam’s businesses an overview of all available resources under the agency.
Key highlights of the business resource guide include programs like the Guam State Trade Expansion Program, Destinu Guåhån Venture Capital Fund, and the Guam Product Seal program alongside
GEDA released the Business Resource Guide on Jan. 28.
Siska S. Hutapea, founder and president of Cornerstone Valuation Guam Inc. and chairwoman of the GEDA board of directors, said in a statement that the outreach empowers entrepreneurs and strengthens the community.
“When our local businesses succeed, our villages, families, and workforce succeed along with them,” she said.
The handout will be given at GEDA’s upcoming workshops, tradeshows, and business fairs and are a part of the agency’s mission to strengthen Guam’s economy.
“GEDA is committed to ensuring that every Guam business, whether they are just starting or preparing to scale, has access to the financial tools and support systems needed to succeed,” said GEDA CEO and administrator, Christina D. Garcia. “This guide puts those resources directly into the hands of our local business community.” mbj
