About Us

Established in 1997, the Regional Center for Entrepreneurial Facilitation (RCEF), formerly known as Riverbend Center for Entrepreneurial Facilitation is a 501 C-3, non-profit entrepreneur and business development organization. Over the years we’ve helped more than a thousand small business owners achieve their goals.

Our success is not measured by the number of clients served but by the number of businesses that were able to open their doors for the first time, able to add jobs, expand, and flourish with new ideas. Just as we are unique as individuals, your business ideas and needs are unique. We strive to treat each client with a set of solutions developed for your particular needs. Whether you’re an aspiring “garage entrepreneur” with an awesome idea and need to find a company to make a prototype, or an established business needing help expanding into a new market, we’re here to provide assistance.

We understand that you’re passionate about your ideas. We’re also passionate about helping and nurturing small businesses so they can succeed in an ever-changing economic landscape. Contact us or click on “REQUEST SERVICES” and discover how we can help.
