What we offer

OIC offers comprehensive Small Business Development services that serve Yakima, Grant, and Adams Counties. The program provides virtual and in-person support, including individualized counseling and coaching, business plan development, and multilingual workshops. Services are culturally responsive and tailored to meet participants at various stages of business development—from start-up to stabilization and expansion. 

OIC’s technical assistance approach includes step-by-step guidance on navigating the start-up process, securing a business license, accessing office supplies and equipment, and meeting local and state compliance requirements. Through one-on-one coaching, clients receive continued support to maintain business viability, make informed decisions, and adapt to market conditions. In tandem with small business services, OIC provides financial literacy coaching that includes budgeting strategies, credit counseling, and assistance in building financial profiles that strengthen clients’ eligibility for public and private financing. This dual approach increases each client’s capacity to achieve and maintain financial viability while preparing them for long-term success
