LET'S GROW YOUR BUSINESS.

Small businesses are essential to creating vibrant, authentic places. REV helps entrepreneurs start, grow and sustain their businesses, and we focus especially on those with the goal to open brick-and-mortar locations.

REV’s Business Growth team offers workshops, one-on-one business consulting, business-proving opportunities and real estate assistance to help you, regardless of where you are on your journey. We also closely collaborate with more than 20 organizations that have even more expertise and resources to help Birmingham’s small businesses thrive.

START

Every small business is unique. The best way to figure out how REV (and/or our partners) can help you move forward is to schedule a 15-minute discovery call. We’ll talk about where you are now, where you want to go and how we can help you get there!

GROW

In addition to continued coaching, pop-ups and street markets are great ways to test your model and grow your business in a real-world environment. We’ve created Woodlawn Street Market and Woodlawn Marketplace to provide approachable platforms for entrepreneurs to do just that.
