Business Resources
Nebraska businesses have access to a wealth of business and entrepreneurial resources to assist with starting a business, developing new ideas or applying new technologies.
The Rural Enterprise Assistance Project (REAP) is Nebraska's largest microenterprise program and operates on a statewide, rural basis through regionally-based business specialists. REAP helps fill four gaps for start-up and small microenterprises (businesses with five or fewer employees) by providing lending, training, networking and technical assistance. In addition to the four core components, REAP operates Nebraska's first and only Women's Business Center.
Janelle Moran is the REAP Regional Business Specialist serving southeast Nebraska. She is available at the Falls city office by appointment on the third Tuesday of each month from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Appointments may be scheduled through the EDGE office by calling 402.245.2105.
