technical assistance

Since 1976, MACED has operated with the belief that to be effective small business lenders must couple capital investment with useful business assistance that makes a difference to borrowers. MACED focuses our attention on one-on-one technical and entrepreneurial development training and uses our loan products as tools to help ensure managed growth within a healthy business context.

MACED staff and qualified contractors form a network of support including accounting professionals, manufacturing process consultants, human resource benefits consultants and finance consultants. In addition, MACED staff offer a FastTrac New Venture class for new start-up businesses.
