May 7, 2020 | 6:47 PM

A number of local professional service providers are teaming up to help Grande Prairie area businesses that have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic by offering free services and resources to help navigate through current challenges.

AVAIL GP, which was organized by local digital marketing agency nine10, will work with partners that will offer services such as legal, marketing and accounting advice, among others, for businesses that may not have the financial resources to otherwise get that help.

“Businesses may need some legal counsel or some marketing and communications advice… but may find themselves challenged by staffing, budget, or simply too many moving parts to know where to start”, said Ryan Blais, a partner at nine10. “Through this collective, they can rest easy that there’s a suite of advisory services they can turn to.”

Businesses that will be offering their complimentary support and advice include:

• Image Design
• Out There Media
• Write Stuff Communications
• Speedpro Signs
• KMSC Law
• Stringam LLP
• Fletcher Mudryk
• Caseley HR Consulting
• Stacey Messner HR
• Community Futures
• Gr8 Solutions Consulting
• Business Innovations Group
• Hi-Tech Business Systems
• Illuminate Technologies

“We recognize that with the right professional guidance, local businesses will find themselves better prepared to tap into the resilience our region is known for,” said Blais. “This initiative isn’t meant to draw attention to one crisis over another. Rather, we know that by working together, we can create a better tomorrow for all of us.”
