Contains 5 distinct sections

You will get a:
-
Comprehensive evaluation and
-
Strategically-directed plan of action.

But first, you must complete the application below.
Assessment Process
Initial Intake:
Basic Business Information & Structure -
Must be completed as a single unit.
Available to all NJSBDC clients, but does NOT automatically qualify the business for B-GAP.
Functional Assessment:
Functional Areas -
With the consent of the B-GAP Advisor, these sections may be completed sequentially, however a full Situational Report will not be available. The process will lose its strategic advantage and reduce the overall economic benefit to the business. The client will also relinquish expedited services for "fast-tracked" project completion.
