Welcome to the Agawam
Small Business
Assistance Center
A message from Milly Parzychowski, Chairwoman

Welcome to our website and the services we offer. The Center was launched in January 2002 with the mission to promote the growth, development and retention of businesses in Agawam and the surrounding communities. Funded by donations from area businesses and organizations, and staffed by volunteers, the Center offers professional counseling, workshops and other support services to area entrepreneurs who want to start or improve their businesses.

Topics covered by our counseling, mentoring and workshops include:

Starting up a business
Business loans
Marketing and sales
Business planning
Accounting, financial and tax matters
Human resources

There are many more, and If you have an interest in a special area, let us know.

If you are planning to venture into the exciting world of starting up your own business (or already there, but need help in growing) we are here and anxious to assist you.

Our services and workshops are free with no strings attached.
