Specifically, the bill directs the state’s Small Business Assistance Center (SBAC) to set up the Small Business Navigator. The SBAC is a branch of the state’s Office of Economic Development and International Trade. The Navigator, in brief, is described as a “single point of contact” that would be able to assist small businesses with the following:
● Diagnosing problems
● Streamlining referrals to small business development centers
● Streamlining referrals to the Colorado Credit Reserve (CCR) program and/or the federal Small
● Business Credit Initiative
● Providing information about state contracting offices, processes and rules
● Conducting follow-up with businesses as needed
HB-1209 passed the state House of Representatives by a 59-6 vote.
