Our Services
CBD’s basic function has always been to provide Technical Assistance. CBD works with our clients to take their development strategies from concept to reality.
Dedicated to Quality
Technical Assistance
Technical Assistance is more than consulting. We don’t do abstract studies and we don’t write abstract reports. We procure funds for businesses and government organizations. CBD believes that the best results are achieved through strong working relationships, both internally and with clients. Built initially upon personal rapport and mutual trust, these relationships continue to develop because of a policy to align CBD’s interests directly with those of its clients. This commonality of goals provides the thread which weaves each phase of the development process into a well coordinated, successful effort.
Corporate Documentation
CBD creates and files corporate documentation with the appropriate public agencies. Firm provides this service but does not give legal advice. We recommend a discussion with your attorney/tax advisor to determine the value of incorporating. However, it is not necessary to employ the services of an attorney to form a corporate entity.
Grant Writing Assistance
CBD works closely with nonprofit groups to write grant proposals which can be used to cover operational as well as capital expenditures.
