THOUGHTS TO CONSIDER WHEN RELOCATING YOUR BUSINESS

Located conveniently off interstates 91 and 93, Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom offers great access to major population centers and markets in the United States and Canada. In addition to offering a skilled and eager work force, the region offers affordable prime industrial and business sites with development potential.

When considering relocating your business to the Northeast Kingdom, you may want to check out the Why the NEK section, located within the Online Business Resource Guide. It takes a look at many of the variables a business owner examines when relocating a business, including quality of life, educational facilities, health care and much more.

Personally, we have found the Vermont Agency of Commerce & Community Development’s Relocate /Expand a Business site to be quite helpful when considering a move. It connects you to a number of resources you may need when making your decision to relocate to Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.

  • Financing and Incentives, offering services customized to support your move at every level, including business retention and relocation resources, financial incentives and more.
  • Permitting Assistance, designed to help you streamline and expedite the permitting process.
  • Site Locator, providing an inventory of industrial parks and properties within the region.

Once you have decided that the Northeast Kingdom is the ideal place to locate your business, you may find the Starting a Business section of the Online Business Resource Guide helpful. It will lead you through all that you need to establish your business, from stem to stern.
