Teaming up for business success

“Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people.” ~Steve Jobs
This apt quote by Steve Jobs can be applied to economic development efforts. Great business success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Businesses benefit from collaborative efforts. That’s why Elk River has an Economic Development Authority that works in concert with city staff and the HRA in order to streamline the business development process.
The city website features valuable resources for startup businesses, including key steps, requirements and timelines. From registering a business to choosing a business structure and determining financing, find the information you need online.
