Small Business Center representative
tells DeVries group to meet challenges
"You have to meet the chal-
lenges of the future," Barbara
Necarsulmer, assistant state direc-
tor of the Delaware Small Busi-
ness Development Center told
members of the DeVries Business
and Professional Women's Club
at their Sept. 10 meeting.
Listing the characteristics of the
Cape Region market, Necarsul-
mer noted that while there are
many retirees in the workforce,
there are also more people in the
area seeking full time employ-
ment.
Those who will be successful
must adapt to change, and that
goes not only for employees, but
also for businesses themselves.
"I hear complaints, especially in
downtown Rehoboth Beach,
about the sheer volume of retail
space opening up on Route One.
But this also provides opportuni-
ties for other types of businesses
to thrive in supporting these new
retail operations," Necarsulmer
told them.
Another challenge is the anti-
development sentiment which can
put a damper on growth in the
area, Nacarsulmer said, citing
moratoriums and stricter zoning.
"This can mean challenges for
those whose livelihoods feed off
construction," she added.
Changes in the political world,
with government providing fewer
services will mean the private sec-
tor will have the opportunity to
step in, she added, while some
new laws, such as the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA),
"made some people very rich," as
they helped businesses to comply
with the act. Many businesses, on
the other hand, found compliance
a costly endeavor.
"There will always be changes -
they can help you or hurt you,"
she told them. "Those who suc-
ceed are looking forward and tak-
ing advantage of new opportuni-
ties or they die," she added.
The SBDC offers a variety of
resources at a nominal charge for
