Free tech support available to small businesses, nonprofits

The Louisiana Technology Council is offering free technical support help to small businesses and non-profit agencies in the metropolitan New Orleans area.

On Oct. 2, the council will host a session teaming technology professionals – speaking in simple English – who will field questions and offer help designed to grow businesses.

The session will be held at the Louisiana Technology Council, which is located in the second floor assembly room at 215 Prytania St. in New Orleans. It will begin at 5:30 p.m.

Applications for free technical help are available online at www.LTC-LA.org.

To be eligible, businesses must be based in Louisiana. Only small businesses or non-profit organizations with fewer than 50 employees or start-up businesses with a business plan and ready to begin in the next 90 days may apply. Eligible businesses must also be located in the Katrina/Rita damage zones.

Applicants should also have a defined vision about how technical assistance will help their enterprise.
