ReVitalize

The COVID-19 health pandemic has both presented new challenges and exacerbated existing challenges for small businesses. Eligible businesses are encouraged to apply to receive specialized and in-depth assistance from our contractor. 

ReVitalize is a partnership between BizLaunch and our contractor that was designed to support small companies looking to strengthen or adapt their business and focus on increasing sustainability in the following the key areas:  

• Financial Management and Sourcing Capital  
• Strategic Planning 
• Marketing and Branding 
• Digital Presence 
• Basic Legal Structure(s), Documentation(s) and Policy Requirement(s)  

Each business that participates in ReVitalize will receive a minimum of two hours of technical assistance, including a one-hour assessment which will determine the key areas of focus. A minimum of 15 businesses will be selected each month for technical assistance from a pool of eligible applicants. All applicants who meet eligibility requirements will enter a lottery. 

Note – If selected, Arlington County will pay a maximum of 3-4 hours of complimentary consultation from a certified vendor through fees associated with assisting your business during the health pandemic. Arlingotn County will fund the ReVitalize program until December 31, 2021 or as the funding is depleted.
