Supporting business improvements and expansion despite the pandemic —
KV Tooling in Augusta, Maine

Brian Beland of KV Tooling and the SBDC have worked together for years to create a thriving business that produces tooling to meet a wide variety of industrial needs, including those used in the production of COVID tests. When the pandemic hit, growth plans were put on hold to focus on the more immediate need for relief funding through the PPP and EIDL programs. This funding made it possible for the business to retain employees and ultimately continue toward the planned expansion. The new space features more space and state-of-the-art machinery. Brain commented, “Every time I am unsure of something I go to [my advisor] first and he always delivers from his wealth of business knowledge.”

SBDC Success Story — Meet Brian and Donna Jordan

The SBDC has been a key figure in the development and success of our company. In particular, Ms. Wynne Briscoe has provided much guidance in the form of conducting research; keeping us up to date on the latest meetings; connecting us with the right people related to our company; and coaching us for pitches and presentations. I would encourage every small business to make contact with the SBDC. It is a resource that should not be overlooked.
