Small Business Technical Assistance
NCNMEDD was granted funds from the 2020 CARES Act to provide specialized technical assistance to businesses in our region. Project examples are setting up contactless payment, developing a website, creating a technology plan or assisting with permitting for outdoor dining or grower certifications. Participants in the Working Now loan program are given priority to the technical assistance program if they choose. If you have questions about the technical assistance program contact Eric Renz-Whitmore by phone at (505) 716-5580 or by email.

Technical Assistance
As part of NCNMEDD's Business Recovery & Assistance efforts, we have a contract with Trish Abbin @ Fat Cat Enterprises.
Fat Cat Enterprises, LC was started by Trish Abbin in 2018. Trish has been in economic development for about 20 years as a multi-lingual Business Advisor, working mostly in the South Valley and Barelas areas of Albuquerque. Trish’s first career was as a chef where she learned she had a thing for numbers and a passion for the business side of things. She went on to get her MBA, as no one wanted to work with a chef, and began working with businesses to help them solve the problems they were having, whether simple or complex. Trish is a native New Mexican and has a passion for supporting NM business and our economy.
