Leading EDG has been helping Levelland’s entrepreneurs grow and has become a resource available to the public during any stage of an individual’s business pursuit.
An Amarillo based business (Leading EDG), the company offers a network of resources with the goal of developing entrepreneurs and strengthening small businesses.
The team at Leading EDG utilizes a network of strategic alliances that include experts in financial management, sales training, business coaching, intellectual property, social media and more.
Working with the City of Levelland for the better part of three years, Taylor McAlpine has continued to assist business owners in any stage of their business venture.
For a majority of clients with Leading EDG, most businesses are true startups and first-generation business owners who are considering the idea.
While the decision to move forward is solely on the business owner, McAlpine wants to ensure that his client has all the necessary information provided to the client to make the best decision moving forward. That could range from fact finding and market research.
An EDC cannot provide the services by law that McAlpine and his employer can provide as a private contractor. From the Leading EDG side of things, McAlpine can be the “boots on the ground” for clients within Levelland or any area he has clients.
For clients, that means McAlpine can spend time with clients, have one-on-one conversations, hear the clients professional and private goals and craft a plan to address all those factors.
From there, McAlpine feels that there has been healthy activity in economic growth and interest in Levelland given its size.
With the goal of economic growth in mind, McAlpine hopes those factors will trickle down to the local level and provide more possibilities for the area.
For those clients that are already out of the startup phase, some tailored questions for those clients in that phase of business can focus on what they need to do for profit maximization or if there is anything that can be done for shareholders.
Regardless of where a business owner is, such as retirement, expanding, looking at another business venture, McAlpine explained that there are resources that his company can offer to those individuals who are in any part of their business venture.
For all clients, their business partnership with McAlpine and Leading EDG are always confidential and proprietary.
The only criteria for the EDG are that an individual owns, operates, or is interested in starting a business within Levelland.
For client relationships, they can vary depending on the amount of involvement. The main focus for Leading EDG and McAlpine is to promote the growth of the EDC.
