Business Development
Newspring business sponsorship is a year-round program aimed at nurturing Spring Branch businesses, encouraging growth to create jobs and stable incomes. Under the direction of our Business Council, Newspring helps with business planning, market strategies, operational improvement, etc. We also provide potential customer connections to sponsored businesses, opening business opportunities beyond the reach of most local businesses. Our financial partner, ACCION Texas is ready to provide micro-loans to our sponsored businesses. Working with Newspring's graduate interns, sponsored businesses are also able to receive back-office services such as accounting, payroll and procurement.
