"The opportunity to fail is the opportunity to succeed."

Creating your own NH small business is a challenging yet rewarding way to have your passion fuel your income.  There's infinite ways to discover what value you can bring to the market and how different markets will repsond to the products and services you have to offer.  Regardless of the approach you take to discover your business, there's one thing all successful business owners have in common; they make the most of the every resource available to capitalize on every opportunity.

GSIL can help connect you to NH business resources and guide you along your business discovery path.  Our main focus for small business assistance is microenterprise (businesses with 5 employees or less) development.  We work with several state partners, such as the NH Small Business Development Center and the NH Department of Resources and Economic Development  to help you develop all the necessary aspects of your business.  These aspects include:

• Start-Up Capital
• Business financing
• Business formation
• Legal assistance
• Accounting
• Marketing
• Hiring
• Contracting

GSIL can also help you determine how to make the best use of any government benefits (Social Security, etc.) you may have as a tool for helping to jump start your business.  Our Financial Planning for Employment services can help you evaluate your best options as you begin to increase your income.

To be eligible for GSIL's Small Business services you must be between the ages of 18-64 and receiving Social Secuity disability benefits.  This means that you have access to the Social Security Ticket to Work program, and GSIL is an approved Employment Network (EN) for the Social Security Ticket to Work  Program.  Click here to fill out our Ticket to Work application.
