The Valley Economic Alliance
Works for Businesses

The Valley Economic Alliance has joined forces with the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), and the Los Angeles Workforce Investment Board (LA WIB) to offer confidential, free-of-charge on-site consultations to San Fernando Valley businesses.

Our expert Business Assistance Team has worked directly with over 500 businesses in the past year.  We secured financing, tax credits, business referrals, and a variety of creative solutions for the challenges faced by local businesses. Helping businesses succeed is our mission. We will listen, observe and research all the possibilities in order to improve and expand your business.
