Beaverton entrepreneurs can get free one-on-one business consulting through IMPACT Beaverton, a joint program of the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce and the city.

The program pairs small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs with advisers who help with writing business plans, navigating licensing and registration, and mapping out the steps to launch a business.

Sessions are confidential. The program's web page is available in English and Spanish.

Recent workshops have covered social media strategy, cybersecurity and using AI tools for small business operations, according to a program listing on the Beaverton Resource Guide published Monday, Aug. 31.

Two more are planned for 2026: one on mental energy optimization and another on grant writing. Dates have not been announced.

The Chamber said the program aims to reduce barriers for entrepreneurs and build opportunities for long-term success.

Christian Arroyo, a Chamber staff member, is the contact for scheduling advising sessions. Entrepreneurs can reach him at [email protected] or visit beaverton.org/impact-beaverton.
