CAP Services is a private, non-profit Community Development Organization whose mission is to bring about a permanent increase in the ability of low- to moderate- income individuals to become economically and emotionally self-sufficient. President Lyndon Johnson proposed the War on Poverty in 1964 with a goal of providing the opportunity for every American to enjoy the benefits of the nation’s Great Society. The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 established a network of local organizations, known as Community Action Agencies. CAP Services was formed in 1966 and serves central Wisconsin as a designated Community Action Agency for Marquette, Outagamie, Portage, Waupaca and Waushara Counties. Our Business Development Program helps meet the needs of people who have the determination to become self-employed in their chosen field, by offering free assistance to qualifying clients in creating a well researched, high quality business plan. When our business development clients are ready to approach local banks for start-up financing, they have a sound business plan to stand behind them. If needed, CAP may also be able to help with “gap” financing for some of the required investment amount through our own revolving loan fund. We offer one-on-one technical assistance in completing critical parts like a market analysis and financial projections; and, we help clients discover their personal strengths, pick the right business for their market, develop their business plan, put together loan packaging, and stay on track. Nationally, less than half of new businesses are still operating after three years. Success rates for CAP's Business Development clients have been much higher. The business planning process helps ensure success over the long run.

Recognizing that resources for business development are not always accessible in rural communities and to low and moderate-income people, the CAP Services free program helps meet the needs of people who have the determination to become self-employed in their chosen field. Kitty Johnson, Business Development Specialist for CAP Services, offers assistance to entrepreneurs in creating a well researched, high quality business plan. We offer one-on-one technical assistance in completing critical parts like a market analysis and financial projections; and, we help clients discover their personal strengths, pick the right business for their market, develop their business plan, put together loan packaging, and stay on track. When business development clients are ready to approach local banks to apply for start-up financing, the sound business plan stands behind them. If needed, CAP may also be able to help with “gap” financing for some of the required investment amount through its own revolving loan fund. Entrepreneurship is a hot topic in Wisconsin these days, with everyone from the governor to college programs to community bankers wanting to promote and assist new business start-ups. CAP’s niche in all this is to provide extra support to people who don’t have the ability to attend a business development training program or to hire a business consultant. They offer a business planning process that people can work through as their time allows, and one-on-one technical assistance in completing critical parts like a market analysis and financial projections. These are areas that many people who want to become self-employed do not spend enough time on, and their businesses often suffer as a result.
