local enterprise offices
Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) are government-supported organizations that provide small businesses with advice, support, and resources to start, grow, and succeed. They offer tailored guidance on business planning, finance, training, and networking opportunities. Operating at the regional level, LEOs help entrepreneurs navigate challenges and access funding or grants. Think of them as local hubs that connect entrepreneurs to the tools, expertise, and networks needed to develop sustainable businesses within their communities.
