ASSETS Lancaster Center for Small Business Development is a non-profit group established in 1993 by Mennonite Economic Development Associates. Since then, ASSETS has supported hundreds of entrepreneurs in obtaining their goals. Through our program, small business owners learn how to start, manage and grow a young business. 
 

“Improving Lives and Growing Success” is our motto. ASSETS is committed to economic and community development through supporting business creation, retention and expansion, creating jobs and employment opportunities and fighting poverty and its negative consequences. 
 

Our program has already been presented in Ephrata and Manheim, in addition to Lancaster. All services are provided in both English and Spanish.
