Small businesses in the Leander area can now tap into free business planning tools through a new city initiative, SizeUpLeander.
The details
Launched in late March, SizeUpLeander is a tool that gives small businesses the kind of market research and data that is “typically only available to large corporations,” according to a city news release.
The platform helps users compare how their business is doing, check out competitors, find gaps in the market, connect with customers and suppliers, and figure out the best places to grow or expand.
“Small businesses are an important part of Leander’s economy, and SizeUpLeander gives them access to practical information they can use to make informed decisions,” Randall Malik, director of economic development for the city of Leander, said in a statement.
The analytics tools is designed for businesses in a variety of stages, from an entrepreneur looking to start a first business to a “seasoned” business owner looking to expand their customer base, according to the city’s website.
The city’s small-business assistance page also features additional small-business support materials, including advisers, local industry data and more. Those interested can access the city's resources here.
