The primary purpose of Business Retention & Expansion (BR&E) is to be very deliberate in acknowledging that the majority of your local economic growth and prosperity comes from taking good care of the companies you have today and ensuring they are happy enough to stay and ultimately expand.

Read MoreThe goal of a strong BRE program is to enable community stakeholders to concentrate their efforts on boosting the economic engines that already exist in their cities, countries, and regions, thereby strengthening and increasing their resilience over time.
To build a community, an influx of wealth and knowledge is the primary requirement. The business retention and expansion (BR&E) activities promote existing neighborhood businesses to stay in the area and ideally expand. Once you have ensured a high level of business retention, then the next step is facilitating expansion opportunities when they become necessary. Companies will only expand in communities where they feel welcomed and are convinced they will have the government’s support for assisting in growth.
A well strategized BRE program enables you to promote investments and jobs in your city and locality.
A great BRE program aims to understand and simplify the business practices, anticipate future actions, as well as resolve any obstacles faced by targeted industries in your locale if and when they need to expand. Such a program creates high value-added services, programs, and/or products using this business intelligence to address both unique and common business opportunities and problems.
The community may choose to assemble resources and possibly provide incentives to the existing businesses to encourage them to boost capital investment and job creation. With the fruitful use of incentives, businesses have the opportunity to boost their profits and in doing so improve the local economy by increasing property and sales taxes and growing net new jobs and payroll.
