About DotteBiz 

DotteBiz is an online resource to help launch and grow business in Wyandotte Country. It provides step by step guidance for prospective business owners and entrepreneurs as they navigate the many decisions when starting a business. For instance, the administrative duties, such as MBE or WBE certification, and other initiatives to support thriving businesses. It is beneficial to learn how to register as a vendor so that you may sell your products and services to the federal government. You can also look into grants and other resources to expand your business.

Way forward

DotteBiz will offer entrepreneurs and business owners with specialised checklists, an extensive network of nearby resources, as well as personalised assistance when they run into problems. The checklists in particular can be beneficial to new entrepreneurs as there are a lot of things for a new business owner to undertake and having a checklist makes it easier to ensure everything in place before launch of the business.

Checklists are advantageous to the Unified Government as well, according to Sharon Reed, the organization’s procurement manager, as they guarantee accountability and enhance communication, enabling city officials to interact more directly with small company owners.

The Wyandotte Economic Development Council (WYEDC) and the University of Georgia procurement department collaborated to create DotteBiz, according to Reed, who also highlighted the significant contribution of Qwally, a SaaS company specialising in speeding small business growth.

Reed proclaimed that Qwally was the crucial component. “We’ve been discussing what we should do to support the local small businesses, and Qwally just brought everything together in one convenient location.”

Ashley Hand, the Unified Government’s director of strategic communications, claims that while DotteBiz is a significant part of the UG’s extensive efforts to make the government as accessible and integrated as possible, it is only one of several initiatives.

Hand agreed that the 21st-century strategy calls for platforms that are responsive to mobile devices as well as data-driven decision making. She added that the UG intends to regularly check in on and update the DotteBiz website.
