Small Business Division
ACCESS MGM is an interconnected network formed by the City of Montgomery to provide access to resources, training, market exposure and opportunities to encourage the success of small businesses County-wide.
ACCESS MGM’s goal is to promote a thriving ecosystem that supports small businesses at all stages of operation through access to resources, training, market exposure, capital and opportunities that promote their success.
As Montgomery seeks to create opportunities for everyone by creating a place for all the community to live, learn and earn, a keen focus on a healthy small business ecosystem is integral to its success. The ecosystem is a set of conditions and supports that all entrepreneurs need to thrive—to launch and expand their businesses, and to sustain them in the face of impediments to growth and economic shocks. Conditions critical to a healthy ecosystem are aligned around ACCESS.
