What is CREG?

Castle Rock Economic Gardeners (CREG) is a group of dedicated and experienced business leaders whose mission is to provide small businesses with the resources used by best-in-class firms, thereby enhancing their competitiveness in the local, state and global marketplaces.

Why CREG?

To understand the value of CREG, first consider the attributes of great gardeners: they understand a strong, fertile foundation allows plants to take root and develop properly; they pay close attention to the weather and prepare their gardens for any storms that may be forecasted; and most important, they utilize the years of experience they have gained to ensure their gardens yield excellent crops year after year.

CREG provides similar assistance: they can help you establish a firm business foundation- from showing you how to develop your business plan, to identifying the best ways to obtain funding, and everything else associated with opening your doors; they pay close attention to local, national, and even international business and can identify trends that could either help or harm your business; and they can leverage their combined years of experience to help you guide your business to sustainable success year after year.

All services and information are at little or no cost to both start-ups and established businesses in Castle Rock, Colorado.
