A Retained business has been a viable business but due to a need to sell or close the business another individual steps up to purchase the business and thus the business is retained.  In some cases an existing business needs information or assistance in creating a business plan, evaluating the whole plan for doing business. 

Many times a business purchases additional equipment or needs a new roof and the bank is interested in seeing a business plan.  Enterprise Facilitation helps in the development and packaging of the plan.

The following are current retained businesses, going back to August 2002.
